Towns Outline Specific Rules for Fall Leaf Collections

Several cities and towns have begun or are preparing annual fall leaf collection. Greenville crews will use vacuum trucks to collect curbside leaf piles; residents should keep leaves out of the roadway and separate from branches and other debris, with biodegradable paper bags also allowed. Henderson’s collection runs through Jan. 15: residents with loose leaves or more than 10 bags must contact Public Works, while those with 10 bags or fewer can put them out with regular trash. Hamlet’s pickup is scheduled throughout November, weather permitting; residents should place unbagged leaves in narrow rows on the grass, no more than two feet high, and keep vehicles and other obstructions away. Hamlet will collect leaves only and suspend brush collection during the pickup period.
