Leaf Collection Service Restart

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 17, 2026

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Due to recent winter weather, the City's curbside leaf collection program was delayed. Service is scheduled to resume starting on Monday, February 23, and one final service round will be provided City-wide. Community members should have their leaves placed and ready for collection by 7:00 AM on February 23, regardless of their assigned collection zone. Curbside collection will be provided throughout the City until all collection zones are completed for one final pickup.

We appreciate your patience as we look to complete normal service after the recent weather event. Questions can be directed to the City's Public Works Department at 434-970-3830 or pwinfo@charlottesville.gov.

Please rake your leaves at the front of your yard (without covering any sidewalks) if there is no street parking. If there is street parking, please rake your leaves in front of the curb in the street.
