Our neighborhood spans two leaf collection zones
It’s a little confusing
Most of the Little High Neighborhood is in the A or orange zone depicted on this map BUT the relatively newly recovered part of the neighborhood (between East Market Street and the railroad tracks on the other side of Water Street — see our About the Little High Neighborhood page for details) — is in the yellow/ochre-ish C zone.
Those of our residents in the yellow ochre-ish C zone will have their first leaf pick up this coming week, November 10-14. The second pickup will be December 15-19, and the final leaf pickup will be January 26-30.
Those of our residents living in the A or orange zone have already had their first leaf pickup. The next leaf collection is scheduled for the week of December 1-5 and our last leaf pickup will be during the week of January 12-16.
Text alert reminders
The City offers text alerts for the curbside collection service. Residents can review collection dates for their homes and choose to “opt in” to receive a reminder text the week prior to leaf collection for their address. *Message and data rates may apply
Sign up by texting “leaf pickup” and your street address to 434-771-0251
