Summer’s green canopy is just starting to change color in Holly Springs yards. But once those trees are ablaze with autumn’s splendor, leaf-raking season will be close behind.
November through early February is our Public Works Department’s peak season for leaf collection. So yard waste service switches from weekly to every other week. This is shown in the collection schedule as green and blue weeks.
The alternate week schedule was instituted last year to provide greater predictability in when leaves and yard waste will be collected.
Public Works crews vacuum leaves and other yard waste. So it's essential that you not comingle leaves and grass clippings with sticks, rocks and other materials that could damage vacuum trucks and take them out of service.
Please place leaf piles behind the curb at the edge of your yard to the extent possible to help keep travel lanes clear.
Keep leaf piles and other yard waste well away from storm drains to prevent them from washing into drains and clogging them.
Last year, our Public Works staff developed a new schedule for leaf collection and regular yard waste during the peak season for leaves. The purpose was to provide greater predictability for when crews will be by your home for leaves or yard waste.
