Free Drop-off Locations for Bagged Leaves

Beginning Monday, November 14th the City will open two (2) locations for residents to drop-off bagged leaves for free!

1. Public Works Collins Yard Facility @ 304 Collins (@ Poplar Ave) from 8am-4pm Monday-Saturday

2. Rodney Baber Park @ 2215 James Rd. Dawn till dusk daily

During leaf season, removal of bagged leaves by the City may be delayed indefinitely due to the enormous volume of bags placed at the curb throughout the city.

Therefore, we respectfully ask residents to take advantage of the above drop-off locations and to help us spread the word about these locations and this free drop-off option.

BAGGED LEAVES COLLECTION
Its bagged leaves season; therefore, please be mindful of the following:

Beginning Monday, November 14th the above free drop-off locations will be available to residents of Memphis only.Lawn, landscape and handymen hired to perform yard work, such as bagging leaves, must remove bags and other debris generated by their services.

Due to the volume of bagged leaves placed at the curb during the months of November through March, removal of all bags citywide within a 5 day work week is not possible with existing resources. Therefore, do not expect collection of leaf bags normal garbage/recycling collection day.

The City does not collect bagged leaves at commercial businesses and private residential developments.

Bagged leaves placed at the curb by contractors or at businesses or private developments will be tagged by City field management and if not removed as directed on the tag the City will remove and the property owner will be billed accordingly.

Since the vast majority of bagged leaves are composted, please do not mix leaf bags with household waste.
