Spring Bulk Leaf Collection Dates Announced for City of Hendersonville Residents
On March 2, 2026, the City of Hendersonville will begin its spring bulk leaf collection service for City residents. Bulk leaf collection will continue throughout the month of March and conclude on April 3, 2026.
How to Prepare Your Leaves
- Loose leaves only – do not bag leaves during bulk leaf season
- Separate piles – keep leaves separate from brush piles and brush in kraft paper bags because leaf and brush crews operate separately
- Only leaves in leaf piles – remove sticks, limbs, rocks or other debris that could damage collection equipment
- Correct placement – pile leaves just outside the curb or sidewalk and out of the roadways to keep walkways clear and storm drains unobstructed
Collection Schedule
- Bulk leaf crews make rounds every 10-14 days, but actual timing varies depending on leaf volume
- There is no need to call Public Works to request pickup as the service is automatically provided for City residents
- Brush collection will continue on its regular every-other-week schedule with brush being collected once piles reach 2 ft. by 2 ft. by 2 ft. or when brush fills a kraft paper yard waste bag; customers can contact Public Works to obtain kraft bags
- Track collection crews on the City’s Track-a-Truck dashboard at https://www.hendersonvillenc.gov/track-truck
