Loose Leaf Collection in Oxford Runs Mid-Oct. Through Mid-Jan.

-Information courtesy the City of Oxford website

The City of Oxford leaf season will start Monday, October 15 and run until Friday, January 18, 2019. Your leaves will be picked up on the same day as your trash. Please have your leaves out for pick up the day before to assure timely removal.  Leaves may be left loose (un-bagged) at the curb, during leaf season. Grass clippings and debris must be separated for removal.

During this time, residents are allowed to place their leaves on the curb in front of their homes. Leaves must be raked to the edge of your yard behind the curb, and not in the street or on the sidewalk. Loose leaf piles need to be free and clean of all other materials – sticks, limbs, garbage, or other debris that may damage the equipment the city uses to collect leaves. Do not park your vehicles on, in front of, or near leaves. The crews need to be able to easily reach the leaves for pick up.

Please do not place leaves in the street, block drainage basins, or drainage ditches. Leaves must be within 8-10 feet of the street for collection.

If you have any questions, please call 919-603-1100 ext. 0.

We appreciate your help and cooperation in keeping Oxford beautiful.
