Loose Leaf Collection
The City of Graham is ready to begin fall and winter leaf collection. Collection crews will begin on Monday, October 21, 2024 thru Friday, February 14, 2025. Residents are encouraged to use this “loose leaf” collection service because of landfill disposal regulations. During this time call-in service will not be available.
Residents should pile loose leaves behind the curb or on the shoulder of streets without curb and gutter by 7:00 a.m. in order to ensure collection. Leaves should not be piled in the street, drainage ditches, or over water meters. Leaves which contain gravel, glass, or other solid matter will not be collected.
Should more frequent leaf collection be desired, residents are required to place leaves in 32-gallon container with handles provided by the resident and set them out with their regular yard waste. Bagged leaves will not be collected.
Questions concerning leaf collection should be directed to the Property Maintenance Division at 570-6709, ext. 6 or 570-6710, ext. 6. Please do not call requesting special pick-up. The crews are working set areas on a set schedule and cannot be pulled off for special pick-up.
