Leaf collection picks up

Posted on December 8, 2010 by Staff

As autumn fades, leaf collection continues in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough.

Chapel Hill residents are encouraged to place loose leaves that are free of limbs and debris at the curbside for weekly pickup. Crews can’t collect yard waste in plastic bags because the bags are not compostable.

In Carrboro, residents are also encouraged to put their loose leaves curbside, but off all drains and sidewalks. Leaf pickup will take place about every two to three weeks depending on weather conditions and departmental workload.

Hillsborough is asking its citizens to place all loose leaves, free of limbs and debris, at the curbside for leaf pickup. Leaf pickup follows the same schedule as neighborhood trash pickups. Hillsborough will deliver the leaves in the winter to anyone who wants them for mulch or compost. For more information, call public works supervisor Ken Hines at 732-1270, ext. 78.
