Yard Waste Collection

Leaf Collection

The City of Lenoir offers curbside loose leaf pickup each year between November and January. This service is provided at no additional cost to residents.

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.

Leaf accumulations at any other time should be put in your green roll out containers (specifically for yard debris) and placed near the front or side street property line to be collected on Wednesdays.

Limbs & Trimmings

The City runs a continuous route throughout the City to collect limbs and other trimmings.

The City will collect one scoop of limbs and trimming per property, per pass for free. A scoop is considered to be a pile of limbs and trimmings no larger than 6-feet wide by 6-feet deep by 5-feet high (6' x 6' x 5').

If a brush pile is larger than6' x 6' x 5', or if there are multiple piles that combined would exceed 6' x 6' x 5', the City will charge the homeowner $25.00 for each additional scoop it takes to remove all of the brush and limbs.

Tree limbs and trimmings should not exceed four (4) inches in diameter or six (6) feet in length. The blunt/cut end of limbs should face the same direction toward the street and be placed in a pile.

Residents should separate leaves from other tree limbs. Do not place limbs or trimmings on the street or sidewalk in a manner that obstructs the travel of people or vehicles.

Brush and Limbs	Single pile that is larger than 6’ x 6’ x 5’, or multiple piles that exceed 6' x 6' x 5' when combined	$25.00 per scoop

Yard Waste

Yard waste is solid waste solely consisting of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance including leaves, grass, small shrubbery, weeds, and plants clippings.

Yard waste is picked up on the same day as your household garbage. Please make sure your yard waste container is at least five (5) feet from your household garbage container.

The City will only collect grass, small shrubbery, weeds, and plants clippings that have been placed in one of the City’s green yard waste containers or a comparable container. Do not bag yard waste. Do not put sticks, rocks, bricks, or glass in the yard waste containers.
