If collection of loose leaves and pine straw by vacuum truck is preferred, residents should carefully review the collection schedule that was mailed to all single-family households the first week of November. Citizens should not rake loose yard waste to the curb more than two weeks prior to the first date of collection for their area; doing so earlier could result in a service notice requesting containerization. There may be delays in containerized pickup as the number of bags and carts to be emptied increases. The City does not have crews operating trucks after dark; if yard debris is not collected on the regular day, it should be left at the curb for the crew to collect it the following day. Containerization includes: 96-gallon brown carts, which are available from the City; another container with tight-fitting lid and strong handles, not to exceed 32 gallons or weigh more than 50 pounds when full; or sturdy bags weighing no more than 50 pounds. Yard debris will not be collected from 55-gallon drums, tarps, sheets, boxes, nylon or mesh bags or other containers. For more information on loose leaf collection, please see the City's website at www.cityoffayetteville.org/leafseason; for containerized yard waste guidelines, see www.cityoffayetteville.org/environmental_services.
