The Great Leaf Dam of Westover Hills

It stretches as far as the eye can see and soon will support it’s own eco-system of fish.

Leaf Collection

Leaf collection has been temporarily suspended due to inclement weather. Please check back at a later date, as the revised schedule will be posted when the service resumes.

Vacuum Leaf Collection Program Guidelines

  • Rake leaves to your property line.
  • Do not rake leaves into the street.
  • Leaves must be placed out for collection by the start date indicated for your route.
  • Keep leaf piles less than 2 feet in height.
  • Keep leaves away from ditches, pipes, and culverts.
  • NO DIRT, ROCKS, METAL OR BRANCHES. These items will prevent crews from collecting your piles.

    “Rake leaves to the property line.” If anyone ever bothered to follow this rule, their leaves would most likely NEVER be removed by the City.
    “Property line” is very different from “curbside” (not on the street) which is what the writer meant, I assume. In Richmond, many property lines do not even extend to the sidewalk. Small point and it makes no difference anyway. People will continue to put leaves in the street until the city stops removing them from there and only vacuums where it says it should. And I’m too bored to continue…I,m going out now to get a life.
