The City of Sevierville Public Works Department’s leaf collection period will begin Oct. 4 and is scheduled to conclude Jan. 28. This date may be adjusted if warranted by weather conditions.
Residents may choose either of the following leaf collection alternatives. Read each alternative carefully and direct any questions to the Public Works Department at 429-4567.
Bagged Leaf Collection:
The Public Works Department will collect bagged leaves citywide on a weekly basis. There will be no set day for collection. If bags are overloaded and too heavy for one person to pickup it may take longer for collection to occur.
Collection period for bagged leaves will be the same as loose-leaf pickup. Residents may call 429-4567 and request a work order be completed or simply place bags at curbside.
Vacuum Leaf Collection:
The Public Works Department will make every effort to be in your neighborhood every two weeks to vacuum loose leaves. During peak periods or equipment breakdown pickup may take longer. The City has been divided into three sections. Once crews make a complete sweep of the City they will start over and make another complete sweep.
This method of collection will be used throughout the leaf collection season. No special collections will be made.
Tips for Vacuum Leaf Collection are to rake leaves in rows no more than three-feet wide, do not park vehicles in front of leaf piles, remove limbs, rocks, and other debris, and do not place leaves in street.
For any questions regarding leaf collection, contact the Public Works Department at 429-4567.
