Leaf Collection

January 2021 Update:

The 2nd round of leaf collection will begin on January 25th and run through February 5th. 

Street Operations will travel through all 7 wards of the City and pick up any remaining leaves during this second round.

Residents are reminded to rake leaves into a pile between the sidewalks and the curb or shoulder of the road. Do not rake leaves into the streets and/or ditches. Bulky materials such as brush and tree limbs should not be mixed in with the leaves. 

Citizens who miss vacuuming during the 2nd round should bag their leaves. Meridian Waste Tri-City will collect up to 60 bags of leaves per property. These leaves should be placed on the curb on the regular trash collection day. For additional information about bagged leaf collection, please call Meridian Waste Tri-City at (804) 425-0500. 

Citizens who miss their scheduled vacuum dates may also purchase individual vacuum leaf services at a cost of $75 per load. Residents who pay for individual vacuum services will still need to rake their leaves into a pile between the sidewalk and curb. For more information about this service, please call the City’s Street Operations Division at (804) 733-2415.
