LEAF PICKUP BEGINS NOVEMBER 4TH
Starting Wednesday, November 4th and running through December 22nd, the Town of Farmville
will operate its vacuum service leaf collection. Before and after these dates, leaves must be
bagged and called in for regular Monday pickups. The first week November 4th - 9th the vacuum
trucks route will do spot pickup. The whole town should be covered during the spot pickup
period. Starting November 10th – 18th, Area 1 will be the focus of pickup. Area 2 will be
November 19th – 25th and Area 3 is November 30th – December 8th. December 9th – 22nd will
consist of spot pickup to cover town as needed.
Leaves must be out by 7:30 a.m. on the first scheduled day of your collection week. Rake your
leaves to the curb or to property line near your street. Do not rake leaves into the street! Keep
leaf piles clear of drainage ditches, pipes and culverts. If you need leaves for composting to help
nourish your plants or garden, the town will deliver leaves to you on a first-call, first-serve basis.
Keep all rocks, branches and twigs out of your leaf piles, as they will damage the equipment.
Hazardous debris must be removed from piles before leaves will be picked up. Many times
brush and limbs are being placed on top of the loose leaves. Separate the leaves from all other
items. Place the limbs and brush separate from the leaves. Your cooperation in properly
preparing leaves for collection will help us do our best to serve you. *Because of hazards of
public safety and to our environment, state law prohibits leaf burning.
