Leaf season has arrived!!!!

Starting in November  the Town of Cary will collect loose leaves from all streets in the town. 

The Town will collect loose leaves three times from each street at no charge.   Please follow these reminders from the Town of Cary:

• Place at curb and out of roadway by 7 a.m. on the first date of your collection periods.
• Avoid covering sidewalks, storm drains, water meters, fire hydrants and sewer clean-outs.
• Keep piles at a distance from mail boxes and parked cars.
• Keep trash, large stones and other debris out of leaf piles.
• A fee will apply for additional pickup requests.

According to the schedule, Lochmere's leaf pick-up schedule is as follows: 

• First Pick-Up Starts: November 3
• Second Pick-Up Starts: December 1
• Third Pick-Up Starts: January 5

Until that time, you can place leaves curbside in reusable containers or brown paper bags for weekly yard waste collection.  Better yet, you can shred the leaves and spread thin layers around your trees and shrubs.

For more information you can visit  townofcary.org "Loose Leaf Collection" or phone them at 311.
