REMINDER: Loose-leaf pickups underway
City of Fayetteville loose leaf pickups are underway through Feb. 19. Crews will start with the 28304 ZIP code. Please call 910-433-1329 to find out when crews will collect leaves in your ZIP code. You can also see the loose-leaf pickup schedule at fayettevillenc.gov/leafseason.
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. Rake your leaves and pine straw curbside by the day before 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.
Kenneth Mayner is the chief branding officer for the city of Fayetteville. You can reach him at [email protected].
