Loose Leaf Collection

The City of Fayetteville's loose-leaf collection program is operated by Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks & Recreation. It is a great service for residents during the fall season. 

Instructions (only during Loose Leaf collection season)

  • Rake your leaves and pine straw curbside by the day prior to your first scheduled day of pickup 
  • Bad weather may cause delays
  • Leaves and pine straw only - no tree limbs
  • Place leaves and pine straw behind the curb away from storm drains and out of the road. Leaves and pine straw left in the street can cause stormwater pollution and may obstruct the storm drainage system.
