York County's Leaf Collection Program Begins
November 15

Beginning Monday, November 7, and continuing through January 30, York County residents who reside on publicly maintained roads can place an unlimited number of clear bags of leaves at the front roadside for collection every other week.
Residents who live in private communities or on privately maintained roads may bring leaves to the closest public roadway for collection. In addition, all residents may bring leaves year-round to the VPPSA Compost Facility located at 145 Goodwin Neck Road, Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For leaf collection purposes, the County is divided into two zones:
 
Southern Zone - all homes south of Dare Road, including neighborhoods in Grafton, Tabb, Brandywine, Coventry, Kiln Creek, Calthrop Neck Road neighborhoods, Running Man, and Carys Chapel Road area. Collection weeks for the Southern Zone are:

November 7              November 21                  December 5

December 19            January 2                        January 16 

Northern Zone - all homes on and north of Dare Road, including neighborhoods along Wolf Trap Road, Goodwin Neck Road, and homes in and near Marlbank, Edgehill, Queens Lake, Hubbard’s Lane, Skimino, and Lightfoot. Collection weeks for the Northern Zone are:

November 14            November 28                  December 12
December 26            January 9                       January 23

There will be one final sweep County wide the week of January 30th.

 
Leaves must be in clear bags, no thicker than one millimeter (no drawstrings, please!) and bags must be easy to handle by one person (max. weight limit = 40 pounds). Clear bags can be purchased at local hardware, grocery, and department stores.  Bags containing other yard debris (sticks, etc.) and/or pet waste will not be accepted.

Bags must be at the front roadside by 7am on the Monday of your collection week. Pick up will be completed by the end of the week.
