Loose leaf collection will begin the week of October 24th, 2016, and will end Mid-January. This involves the use of a vacuum machine and trucks therefore it is essential that leaves be free of rocks, trash and limbs so that the equipment is not damaged. You may continue to bag the leaves or place in a container; however, it is not required until the loose leaf pickup season is over.
Make certain that no leaves are left on top of your water meter. Leaves will generally be picked up on a two or three week rotation; however, this is dependent on weather conditions and leaf accumulation. If you have any questions, contact the Public Services Department at 252-431-6115 or 252-431-6118. Also, please keep in mind after January 17, 2017, if leaves are not bagged there will be a $75.00 charge.
