Fall Leaf Collection Program Starts Monday, Nov. 3

Fredericksburg, Texas - The City of Fredericksburg's Fall Leaf Collection Program will start on Monday, Nov. 3 and will continue as needed through the fall and winter months.

The City offers this service twice a year, free of charge, to all residential garbage customers to encourage community beautification.

During this program, residents are encouraged to gather leaves from their property and rake them to the street.

Residents must follow these guidelines to ensure pick up:

• Rake leaves onto the street, 12 inches from the curb.
• Do not mix limbs, twigs, wire, rocks, bricks, or other debris with leaves. These items will damage the leaf collection equipment. If you cannot remove the debris from your leaf pile, please call the Street Department to arrange a special pick up. There will be a minimum $100 fee for this service.
• Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles. The collection equipment cannot maneuver around vehicles and will not be able to pick up leaves.
