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 end on
Friday, February 19, 2010

The City of Athens Public Works Department has finished the second round of leaf collection and will provide leaf collection service by call-in only. Please call 744-2776 and leave your name, address and phone number on the voice mail system. Your address will be placed on a work list to have your loose leaves collected by the vacuum trucks. If you are unable to make the February 19th deadline, you will be required to bag your leaves if you want them collected by Public Works.

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Routes will not be published.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.
