Leaf pick up begins Monday, October 19, 2020 and continues for the rest of the fall, until either all leaves have been collected or snow has started falling. To make use of this service, rake leaves into piles in the grassy area between the curb and the sidewalk or bag up leaves for pick up.

There is no announced schedule for leaf collection by neighborhood or ward; crews will target areas that have the most leaves ready for collection. Contact the Operations Division at (304)-636-1414, ext. 1437 to report the location of bagged leaves for pick up. More information: www.cityofelkinswv.com.
