The Field Operations Department conducted its Loose Leaf Collection Program 
from November 1, 2010 to January 22, 2011.

More than 9,300 tons of leaves were collected during the 2010-11 program. 

The leaf collection program helps keep leaves from blocking storm drains and prevents decaying leaves from polluting our lakes and streams. The collected leaves are made into compost to fertilize City gardens and landscaped areas. Residents may purchase the compost at the White Street Landfill, 2503 White St. or by calling 373-2489.

It’s easy to use the Leaf Collection Program. Follow these tips:

• Rake leaves to the edge of your yard behind the curb - not in the street.
• Remove sticks, rocks, and other debris that may damage City equipment.
• Do not park vehicles on, in front of, or near leaves.

Greensboro residents can also use the City’s year-round yard waste program. Simply put your leaves in clear plastic bags or in a plastic or metal garbage can and set them at the curb on your regular trash collection day.

The leaf collection schedule may change due to inclement weather. The program does not service private streets.
