Leaf Line

LeafLine 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 will begin on
Thursday, November 1, 2007

The City of Athens Public Works Department wishes to announce the beginning of curbside loose leaf pickup for this season. 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Routes will not be published.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) 744-2774 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.

If you have questions, please call Public Works at (423) 744-2745 or email publicworks@cityofathenstn.com.
