To assist with bagged disposal, the city will provide free 60-gallon leaf bags from November 3 through December 5, 2025. Each household may receive up to two rolls. Additional rolls of 10 will be available for purchase at $1 per roll through December 22. Pick-up locations include the Customer Service Department at 301 S. Center Street, the Statesville Fitness & Activity Center at 1875 Simonton Road, and the Bentley Community Center at 324 Wilmington Avenue. These bags are for leaf collection only and not for household garbage. Bagged leaves will be collected with weekly garbage service.
Collection guidelines request that residents place leaves at the edge of their yard, not in streets or on sidewalks, and keep piles free of sticks or other debris. Vehicles should not be parked near leaf piles, and leaves should be kept clear of storm drains and water meters.
The city notes that collection may be affected by weather conditions. Updates will be shared on the city’s website. Landscape contractors are responsible for removing any piles they create.
