City of Hickory Public Works crews collected more than 8 million pounds of leaves during the 2020-2021 leaf season, and crews are geared up and ready to begin this year’s loose leaf collection on November 8. Curbside leaf collection will continue until January 14, 2022, per the announced schedule. An interactive map is available at https://www.hickorync.gov/leaf-collection to help residents determine their quadrant and leaf pickup schedule.
The City of Lenoir Public Works Department will start leaf collection in November. Residents will get three pickups between November and January.
Residents should rake leaves into piles behind the curb or ditch line, and remove all bricks, rocks, sticks, or glass. Such items may cause personal injury to employees and damage equipment.
Depending on their location in the City, residents will get one collection either at the start, middle, or end of the month. Pickup dates are estimates. Weather and other circumstances can affect the leaf pickup schedule.
This service is provided at no additional cost to residents. For questions about this service, call the Sanitation Division at 757-2154.
