Leaf Season Pickup

Containerize for Weekly Pickup

The City of Fayetteville provides a great service with loose leaf collection beginning during the fall part of the year. You do not have to wait for leaf pickup! If you put your leaves out in sturdy bags or containers on your regular yard debris day, they will be picked up weekly. This also helps keep leaves out of the storm drains.

By Zipcode and Neighborhood

Leaf Season Tips

• During Loose Leaf Season, citizens can pick up trash bags at any recreation center or fire station
• Citizens can purchase a brown roll-out cart for $60, which can be used for weekly collection of leaves and pine straw, as well as other yard waste. The City can deliver it to your house for $25 or you can pick it up at the Solid Waste Department on Grove Street. The cart becomes the property of the resident once purchased and has a 10-year warranty.

Instructions

• Rake your leaves and pine straw curbside by 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 on the top of 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.

Open Burning

Open burning, including the burning of leaves and other yard debris, is not allowed in the City of Fayetteville! See the below PSA from the Fayetteville Fire/Emergency Management Department for more information.
