Town of Knightdale issued the following announcement on Oct. 22.
Loose-leaf season is upon us!
- All loose leaves must be ready for pickup by 7:30 AM on your first scheduled day:
- Leaves must be raked loose to the back of the curb or edge of the yard.
- Loose leaves must be piled within 6 feet of the edge of the pavement to ensure accessibility for our equipment. Please do not pile leaves in the street or gutter.
- Grass clippings and trimmings may also be placed loose at the curb and will be collected by the Vacuum Trucks. NO branches please. Branches may be placed in an approved container as noted above, or set for pickup by the knuckleboom depending on size.
- For the safety of our crews and equipment please ensure there are no rocks, or other debris mixed in with leaf litter.
- If you use bags for your leaves, please ensure they are clear bags or paper compostable bags. We will not pick up anything but clear bags or approved containers to ensure the safety of our staff.
- Historically, the Planters Walk neighborhood produces a majority of the leaves collected throughout Town due to their large number of mature trees. For that reason, Planters Walk's leaves will be collected beginning on a separate week. This schedule will ensure every resident in Knightdale will have a leaf truck by their home at least five times throughout the season.
