Residents may get program updates by calling the automated “leaf line” at 919-996-3720 or tuning in to cable channel 22. The City of Raleigh website offers the most detailed information including the collection schedule and what section residents are in. Information is available on the City of Raleigh website at www.raleighnc.gov, “leaf collection” can be entered into the search window to access a link to the Leaf Collection page. Raleigh residents may find which leaf collection section they are in by clicking on the “city services” tab at the top of the page and entering their address under “find my service”. Collections will be made citywide once during the month of October, once before the Christmas holiday, once each in the months of January and February.
