City leaf pickup starts Oct. 20

By Bill Moss, Published: October 13, 2014

The city of Hendersonville will begin its bulk fall leaf collection on Monday, Oct. 20.

Residents are asked to rake their leaves as close to the street, curb or sidewalk as possible without placing the leaves in the road or on the sidewalk. It is not necessary for residents to call for this service. City crews will continue collecting leaves until the end of December. Leaf piles will be picked up from homes about every 10 to 14 days although depending on the volume of leaves placed out for collection the piles could be picked up sooner or later than that time. Because the leaf collection process is separate from brush collection, the city asks residents to keep the brush and leaves separate. Residents are asked to not bag their leaves. For questions about lead pick call the Public Works Department at (828) 697-3084.
