JACKSON, Tenn. ─ The City of Jackson announces the start of the fifth season of our citywide leaf pick-up starting Monday, November 4, 2024, through Friday, March 14, 2025.

The leaf pick up process works by having dedicated crews assigned to each of the four pick up districts in the city. Crews will start at one end of their dedicated district and sweep in its entirety before starting over. Jackson residents do not have to call to request leaf pick up during the season due to the new sweep-thru method.

Leaf Pick-up Guidelines:

• Leaf Trucks will run from the Monday, November 4, 2024, through Friday, March 14, 2025.
• Starting March 31, 2025, leaves will need to be bagged for claw truck pick-up and residents should dial 3-1-1 or make a report on the Ready 3-1-1 App
• Each of the four districts will have a crew assigned to it for the entire season. They will start at one side and sweep the entire district before starting over.
• Leaves must be raked into piles at the street within four (4) feet. Any leaves raked after the truck has been on your road will be picked up on the next round through.
• Sticks and limbs are to be placed in a separate pile. Any pile of leaves with excess limbs will be skipped.
• Pick-up is based on weather. If it is raining, snowing, or frozen, our machine will clog. Operation will resume as soon as conditions allow.
• Do not rake leaves over water meters or clean-outs. They will be sucked into the machine and possibly cause damage and delays.
• Do not rake close to mailboxes or guide wires.
•  Do not park vehicles around leaf piles. If the leaf pile is blocked, it will be documented and skipped until the next round.
•  Do not rake over a rock-lined flowerbed. They will get sucked up and damage the machine causing delays and expense of repairs.
•  We do not pick up in trailer parks, apartment complexes, churches, and industrial parks.
•  If you have any further questions, dial 3-1-1.
