Street Sweeper Season Ends, Leaf Pickup Season Begins for 2024
Elkins W. Va., September 26, 2024: The street sweeper season will end on Monday, September 30. The leaf collection season will begin on Monday, October 7. Pickup begins in the heavier areas of the city first, and the Street Department will then proceed to go street by street, ward by ward to collect leaves.
Some things to remember:
- Rake leaves into piles in the grassy area between the curb and the sidewalk or bag up leaves for pick up.
- Please do not place leaves in the street, as this causes problems with storm drains as well as parking and traffic concerns.
- City employees will not go into yards to collect leaves.
- We will try to collect bagged leaves within 48 hours. Customers should place the bagged leaves at the curb and contact the Operations Department at (304) 636-1414, ext. 1437 to report the location of the bagged leaves for pick up.
- Bags must contain only leaves and no yard waste or trash.
