Leaf collection starts in November
Oct. 31. Republic Services, the waste collection company hired by the Town of Cornelius, will collect up to 20 bags of leaves per week. If the bags are clear you can tie them shut, but if they are any other color, they need to be left open so the drivers can see what is in the bags. Leaves and grass clippings are picked up every week, the same day as trash service.
The Town also provides leaf pickup to residents between November and mid-February, thanks to three leaf pick-up machines.
There is no set schedule, however, because of the unpredictability of the weather and amount of leaves to be picked up. During periods of heavy leaves, it may take three weeks between collections.

We live on Grenache court in Cornelius
We have been blowing leaves to street since Nov 1st
Do you have an idea when they may collect leaves on street.
Tyler Beardsley, Assistant Town Manager/Public Works Director for the Town of Cornelius says “This will likely be next week.”
