CITY OF RALEIGH: Holiday Special Events Leaf Collection Program

Leavesclean

City of Raleigh issued the following announcement on Aug. 15. 

The City of Raleigh recognizes that there are long-standing holiday celebrations in some Raleigh communities that engage neighbors in celebration and invite others from outside the neighborhood to join the festivities. These activities generate increases in vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and an increased need for parking and open, passable sidewalks.

For the 2021-22 loose leaf collection season, the City of Raleigh is offering the Holiday Special Events Leaf Collection to assist with bulk leaf removal,  As bulk leaf collection resources are limited, communities must meet certain requirements to qualify for this program. The requirements are listed below, along with instructions for completing the application process.

The requirements are listed below, along with instructions for completing the application process.
