City of Kannapolis loose leaf collection will begin October 28, 2024 and will end March 17, 2025.

Loose Leaf Collection Do’s & Don’ts:
•    Leaves must be placed at the curb or along the ditch line – not in ditches – in rows parallel with the street.
•    Place leaves at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day of collection.
•    Leaves mixed with limbs, other yard waste, gum balls, gravel, glass or other solid matter will not be collected.
•    Leaves in garbage containers will not be collected.
•    Leaves must be clear of water meters and fences and placed on the street side of retaining walls.
•    Leaves must be clear of sidewalks/street.
•    Keep the area around the leaves clear of vehicles and other items so the loose leaf vacuum trucks can easily access the leaves. If access to the leaves is blocked, the leaves will not be collected. 

During the Loose-Leaf Season, there will be no loose-leaf collection on the following holidays observed by the City: Veteran's Day (Nov 11), Thanksgiving (Nov 28 and 29), Christmas (Dec 24, 25 and 26), New Year's Day (Jan 1) and Martin Luther King Day (Jan 20).

After March 17, 2025, we request that you bag any loose leaves you have and place them at the curb for yard waste collection. To find your loose-leaf collection schedule, visit kannapolisnc.gov/looseleaf, or download the free CARTology app in Apple and Google Play.
