A maximum of 10 biodegradable paper bags (or 10 properly marked trash cans) will be picked up at each residents home per week. No exceptions. Yard waste is limited to grass clippings, leaves, weeds and small twigs and must be placed at the curb by 6 a.m. on the day of collection. Yard waste must be in biodegradable paper bags or in cans clearly marked as yard waste. The Town of Leesburg will provide residents with free "Yard Waste" stickers for this purpose. Residents can request stickers by calling 703-771-2790 or emailing [email protected]. Residents are being asked to mulch their grass clippings into their yards to minimize the yard waste volume.
