Leesburg Now Collecting Yard Debris Twice a Week

Yard waste will be collected from customers in the Southeast and Southwest quadrants on Mondays and Thursdays through Sept. 30. Customers in the Northeast and Northwest quadrants will have pickups on Tuesdays and Fridays through Sept. 24.

Items accepted in the yard waste collection includes grass clippings, leaves, weeds and small twigs only. It must be left at the curb by 6 a.m. on collections days in brown paper bags or in cans marked with Town of Leesburg Yard Waste stickers. To obtain a sticker, contact the Leesburg Public Works Department at 703-771-2790 or trash@leesburgva.gov, or pick one up from the receptionist at Town Hall. 

The following additional restrictions apply to yard waste:

After Sept. 30, yard waste will be collected once a week on customers’ normal recycling collection day.
