Fredericksburg’s Annual Fall-Winter Leaf Collection Program is underway and runs through January.
During this program, residents are encouraged to gather leaves from their property and rake them to the street.
Residents are reminded of the following guidelines which will ensure pick up:
•    Rake leaves onto the street, 12 inches from the curb;
•    Do not rake limbs, twigs, wire, rocks, bricks or other debris along with leaves for collection, as this could damage leaf collection equipment and they will not be picked up for that reason. Special arrangements can be made for those who can’t remove debris at a cost of $100;
•    Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles, as collection equipment can’t maneuver around them; and
•    Remember that leaves with grass clippings, limbs or other debris will not be picked up.
The city leaf pick up program is not a year-round service. The city offers this service twice a year, free of charge, to all residential garbage customers to encourage beautification.
The Fall-Winter Leaf Collection Program will run through mid-January. The end date will be announced in the Standard-Radio Post and on the city’s website and social media platforms upon determination.
Upon completion of the Fall-Winter Leaf Collection Program, there will be no leaf collection until the 2022 Spring Leaf Pick Up Program begins, tentatively scheduled for March.
If leaves are put out after the completion of the Fall-Winter Leaf Collection Program, the resident will be notified to properly dispose of their leaves. If leaves are not disposed of, a $100 fee will be assessed based on service provided according to Code of Ordinances Section 25-025.
