Town of Apex issued the following announcement on Oct. 24.
This time every year Apex hits peak leaf season, and our yard waste collection crews work hard to balance the increased workload.
We do our best to stay on schedule, running as early and as late as safety allows.
Here are a few ways you can help ensure efficient collection:
Kick it to the curb. Do not place yard waste in bags or your trash cart. Rake to the curb, where our vacuum trucks will collect.
Separate your piles. Keep large sticks and branches separate from smaller yard waste, as this could damage the vacuum and delay collection.
Only rain down the drain. Keep yard waste out of our sewer system by placing 10 feet or more away from storm drains
Rocks and mulch are not collected. Our trucks cannot collect dirt, mulch, or rocks. These items damage our trucks and can lead to “dusting” streets while collecting.
