Published 1:20 pm Friday, November 11, 2022

The City of Elizabethton Street and Sanitation Department started curbside vacuum leaf collection on Monday, Nov. 7, and will continue through January 31, 2023 or until all leaves are collected. The entire city should be covered by December 1. The second round should be completed by January 1, 2023, with the final cleanup completed by January 31, 2023. Leaves are to be raked in piles or windrows and should be placed at curbside only. The placing of leaves in public streets, gutters, or over storm drains is expressly prohibited. The Street and Sanitation Department asks for your patience during the period, as crews will be servicing each area as soon as possible.

For those citizens who generate only a small amount of leaves and wish to bag them, the Sanitation Crews will collect the bags on their regular garbage collection day providing they are placed curbside with the garbage container(s). The department sincerely asks for your cooperation during the leaf collection period so that the process may be accomplished as efficiently as possible.
