Property Maintenance
Property Maintenance provides landscaping, tree pruning, and grounds maintenance to help beautify the City. The City of Graham has been a Tree City USA member for 38 years.
Loose Leaf Collection
The City of Graham will collect fall and winter leaves from Monday, October 27, 2025 through Monday, February 16, 2026. We ask residents to use this service due to landfill disposal regulations. Call-in service will not be available.
Pile loose leaves behind the curb by 7:00 a.m. to ensure pickup. If your street has no curb, pile leaves on the shoulder instead. Do not put leaves in streets, ditches, or over water meters. Crews will not collect leaves mixed with gravel, glass, or other debris.
Do you need more frequent pickup? Then place leaves in a 32-gallon container with handles. Set it out with your regular yard waste. Crews will not pick up bagged leaves.
Call the Property Maintenance Division at 570-6709, ext. 6 or 570-6710, ext. 6 with questions. Crews work set areas on a fixed schedule. Therefore, they cannot make special pickups.
Cemeteries
The City of Graham Cemetery Division is responsible for the perpetual maintenance of the City’s two cemeteries, located along E. Elm and E. Pine Streets is the oldest cemetery and home of the final resting place of two governors. Unfortunately there are no grave sites available for sale in Linwood Cemetery at this time.
