Collection truck vacuuming leaves from side of road

Seasonal Leaf Collection to Begin October 30

Crews will start collecting in Zone 10

News Published 9/27/2023 Updated 9/27/2023

The City provides the annual service to Raleigh residents who opt to rake leaves from their lawns into piles near the curb (not into the street). Specialized equipment uses a giant vacuum to collect leaves in residential areas.

Raleigh neighborhoods are divided into 12 zones for this service. Crews will start collecting in Zone 10 and continue to the remaining zones as weather and equipment allow. Please check the collection schedule or interactive map on when to place your leaves at the curb for pickup.

Alternatives to Loose Leaf Collection: We also encourage you to consider using other options to manage leaves:

  • Mulching – conserves water, helps prevent weeds, and improves the overall health of your lawn or garden, and also benefits the broader environment.
  • Bi-Weekly Yard Waste Collection - As a reminder, residents can utilize their new yard waste carts and up to 15 biodegradable paper bags for leaves as part of their regular yard waste collection.
