Leaf Collection for Town of Chapel Hill Residents
From the middle of October through the middle of February, the Town of Chapel Hill will collect and haul away all leaves raked to the curb in piles. They also will deliver leaves to those requesting them for compost or mulch for gardening. This program helps keep leaves out of the landfills, and we all benefit by saving landfill space and making use of a valuable material.
The Chapel Hill Public Works crews start at one end of town and make a complete circuit at least three times during the period from October through February to give all residents the same number of pick ups. They recommend that you rake your leaves as early in the season as practical. This will help them to provide at least one collection for the entire Town prior to the Christmas season. The length of their collection cycle depends upon the number of leaf piles and the timing of their placement. There are four important things to remember about this program.
-
Chapel Hill Public Works cannot make special pick-ups.
-
The leaf truck will collect leaves in your neighborhood at least once before Thanksgiving. The exact schedule will depend on the weather, the amount of leaf fall and the number of people participating.
-
Not everyone will get a leaf pick-up during Thanksgiving week or during Christmas week.
-
Leaves placed in bags will not be collected.
Please check the Town of Chapel Hill web page here for their weekly collection schedule, daily status updates and leaf collection map, and for other ways to dispose of leaves.
