The City of Staunton’s annual leaf collection program begins in November and continues through January to assist residents with fallen leaves.

Residents who would like to participate should rake their leaves to the curb or street right-of-way, away from gutters, and remove rocks and debris prior to their scheduled pickup. The city will not attempt to collect leaf piles containing debris, which can damage machinery.

Collected leaves will be provided to local farms for composting.

Individual street schedules are unavailable, but a map of the city’s collection dates is online. The dates are the final pass for each zone. Leaves must be at the curb for final pickup by 7 a.m. Questions may be directed to public works at 540-332-3892.

Collection may be affected by winter events and other priorities. Leaf collection will not happen during holidays, including Nov. 26-27. Dec. 22, and Jan. 1.
