Did you know Fort Mill’s Public Works Department collects leaves with its fully automated vacuum truck from Oct. 15 through March 15 each year on normal garbage collection days?
Leaves can be collected in a pile and left curbside, but must not be placed on roads or near storm drains. Leaves can clog storm drains causing flooding or other serious stormwater issues.
Place sticks and branches in a separate pile to avoid clogging the collection truck’s vacuum tube. These items will be collected separately.
Another option for leaf collection is to bag leaves and place curbside on regular trash pick-up days. For specific questions, contact Public Works at (803) 547-7158 or visit the Public Works website by clicking here.
