Fredericksburg, Texas – Due to weather, the City of Fredericksburg’s Fall Leaf Collection Program has been extended through Friday, Jan. 17.
The City previously announced Friday, Dec. 13 as the conclusion of the program, but with many leaves still in trees crews will now continue the service into 2025.
Offered twice a year, the leaf collection is free of charge to all residential garbage customers to encourage community beautification.
During this program, residents are encouraged to gather leaves from their property and rake them to the street.
Residents must follow these guidelines to ensure pick up:
- Rake leaves onto the street, 12 inches from the curb.
- Do not mix limbs, twigs, wire, rocks, bricks, or other debris with leaves. These items will damage the leaf collection equipment. If you cannot remove the debris from your leaf pile, please call the Street Department to arrange a special pick up. There will be a minimum $100 fee for this service.
- Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles. The collection equipment cannot maneuver around vehicles and will not be able to pick up leaves.
