The Town of Carrboro will end its annual loose leaf collection on Feb. 27, so you’d better get raking if you don’t have other plans for those leaves. Here are some guidelines from the Town:
• Leaves may be raked curbside for collection
• Leaves must be free of all debris (leaves only)
• Leaves should not be placed in the street, drainage ditches, bike lanes or on sidewalks
• Leaves may be bagged and placed curbside for collection. Bags must not weigh more than 50 pounds. The number of paper bags is unlimited, but if you’re using plastic, you’re limited to eight.
As of March 1, bagged leaves will be picked up according to your normal yard waste collection schedule. The same weight and number restrictions apply.

To expedite recycling, all loose leaves should be removed from binders, and oriented with the holes to the left. Whites and colors may be intermingled. Scattered escapees may be forced back into bondage or required to serve a term on the HOA Bored, at the discretion of the sane.
