Leaf Line
Leaf Line
is the Public Works Department's annual leaf collection strategy.
Leaf crews utilize vacuum-equipped trucks and a street sweeper
to collect loose leaves that have been raked curbside. The
leaf collection schedule is determined as leaves begin to
fall, so rake your leaves to your curb as soon as possible
for collection.
Leaf
Collection has ended for the 2010-2011 season.
The City of Athens Public Works Department
has concluded curbside loose leaf collection this year. Please call 744-2776 to access the Leaf Hotline for a daily update of leaf collection progress.
For leaf collection: rake your leaves 3 to
5 feet from the edge of the road as soon as they fall.
NEVER PLACE
LEAVES, BRUSH OR JUNK IN THE ROAD.
Routes will not be published. Instead, Public
Works has implemented the Leaf Hotline. Please call (423)
744-2776 for a daily update of the locations that leaf crews
will be working.
There will be more than one round of leaf
collections, If your leaves have not fallen by the end of
the first round of leaf collection, they will be collected
on the following rounds.
