Henrico County’s curbside leaf collection service will begin on Monday, Nov. 16. The county will offer two tiers for collection, one paid and one free.

Vacuum leaf collection will be available from Monday, Nov. 6 through Friday, Dec. 1, and again from Feb. 26 to March 29. Residents must order vacuum collection from the county, and pickups cost $30.

Bagged leaves will be picked up between Monday, Nov. 13 and Saturday, Feb. 10. Collection will be handled in five zones, and each zone will be covered twice over the course of the collection program. Bags should be on the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your zone’s collection week.

Residents are asked not to keep leaves — bagged or loose — in traffic lanes, parking spaces, storm drains, or ditches. Richmond began its curbside leaf pickup on Oct. 2.
