Leaf Collection

During the fall months, the Town of Davidson Public Works Department collects leaves to clear roads and streets.

Below are some tips to assist with collection efforts.


Bagged Leaves
Allied Waste will collect bagged leaves when picking up yard debris. By using brown biodegradable trash bags, you help crews work more efficiently and easily identify your bags as leaves.

Unbagged Leaves

Our goal is to collect leaves every day in the fall and then on an as needed basis. Rain slows us down since wet, heavy leaves mean more trips.

The intended collection route is as follows:

  • Monday: west of Main Street
  • Tuesday & Wednesday: east of Main Street, south of Concord Road, to Davidson-Concord Road
  • Thursday & Friday: River Run, McConnell, St. Alban’s, Pages Pond neighborhoods

We appreciate your support and patience. We will collect your leaves as quickly as possible.The Town will not remove leaves collected by a contractor or lawn service. If you have someone maintaining your trees and yard, it is their responsibility to dispose of yard waste. Piles of unbagged leaves must be placed at, and parallel to, the curb line. Leaves must be free of limbs, gravel or debris. Foreign objects will damage the equipment and delay pick up times.

If you would like leaves delivered to your home for composting, call Town Hall at 704 892-7591 to see if delivery can be arranged.


Tips
  • Wet, heavy leaves will slow down collection; however, the department aims to collect leaves in each neighborhood at least once a week.
  • Piles of unbagged leaves must be placed at the curb line and be free of limbs, gravel or branches. These items damage the machine and delay pick up times.
  • If a week passes and your leaves have not been collected, please call Town Hall at 704 892-7591. This may be due to bad weather, heavy concentration of leaves in a particular area or equipment failure. You may also email Public Works.
  • If you would like leaves delivered to your home for composting, call Town Hall at 704 892-7591 to see if delivery can be arranged.
  • Call 704 892-7591 for information.
