♦ Keep leaf piles free of sticks, limbs, or other debris.
♦ Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles.
♦ Keep leaves away from storm drains and water meters.
Important Reminders
♦ Please note that the success of the loose-leaf collection program is weather-dependent. The city will keep residents informed of any schedule changes or updates via our website – www.statesvillenc.net – under the Leaf Collection Quick Link.
♦ Landscape contractors are responsible for removing any leaf piles they create, so please coordinate with them as needed.
