The City of Lynchburg’s Public Works Department will begin its annual loose leaf collection on Monday, November 2, providing residents with a convenient, no-cost way to dispose of leaves from their properties.
Crews will begin with a four-week citywide sweep to collect loose leaves that residents have raked to the curb. Following the initial sweep, dedicated leaf collection by Ward will begin Monday, November 30, according to the following schedule:
Ward I: November 30-December 4
Ward IV: December 7-11
Ward III: December 14-18
Ward II: December 21-24
The Ward collection schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions, equipment availability, and staffing. Residents who are unsure of their Ward can view the City’s Ward map at www.lynchburgva.gov/512/Ward-Precincts-Map. After Ward collection is complete, crews will return to citywide collection.
To help crews collect leaves safely and efficiently, residents should follow these guidelines:
Rake leaves to the curb, but do not place leaf piles in the street or on sidewalks.
Keep leaf piles free of sticks, rocks, pinecones, and other debris that can damage collection equipment.
Keep leaves away from storm drains and out of the path stormwater takes to reach drains.
Do not pile leaves near parked vehicles, trees, or fire hydrants.
Residents may also bag leaves and place them curbside for pickup with regular trash collection. A prepaid City of Lynchburg Blue Bag must be used.
City crews will vacuum leaves as promptly as possible. Inclement weather can impact the collection schedule. Leaf collection typically extends through at least January until all leaves are collected.
