Reminder: Leaf Collection Coming Up!

Just a reminder that the City of Richmond’s leaf relief collection program will be coming to Fulton January 4 – 15. Please make sure you have your leaves raked to your property line by the 4th. Below is a list of guidelines. If you don’t want to wait for the collection program please remember you can bag your leaves at anytime and they will be picked up with your trash. Please make sure you bag your leaves in special lawn and leaf bags so that they can decompose with the leaves. There is a 6 bag limit per week when put out with your trash.

Vacuum Collection Program Guidelines

  • Rake leaves to your property line.
  • Do not rake leaves into the street.
  • Leaves must be placed out for collection by the start date indicated for your route.
  • Keep leaf piles less than 2 feet in height.
  • Keep leaves away from ditches, pipes, and culverts.
  • NO DIRT, ROCKS, METAL OR BRANCHES; these items will prevent crews from collecting your piles.
