The 2024 leaf collection has been scheduled for the weeks of November 4th and December 9th, weather permitting.
*** SPECIAL NOTE FOR CARRISA TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTS: Due to paving planned for November 4th, there will be no leaf collection by vacuum truck in November on your portion of Carrisa Lane. ***
The actual start depends on the weather, that week and the previous week. Trucks will work until they’ve made one pass along each street.
• Please keep storm drains clear of leaves.
• No leaves may be dumped into or blown into commonly owned property including our woods. This applies even if the leaves originated on trees on HOA property, just as we don’t return the leaves that fell off our neighbor’s maple tree.
• To control the volume of leaves in the community we encourage residents to continue putting leaves out for County pick-up on Thursdays. Mulching leaves and picking them up with a lawn mower reduces the volume to about 1/5th of non-mulched leaves and makes them appropriate for mulching under your landscaping plants and bushes.
• Rake leaves along the edge of the yard at the curb line. Leaves may be raked into the street, but only into the gutter, NOT farther into the street. This is prohibited by Montgomery County.
• Leaves and pine needles only, no sticks, other yard waste, or trash. Violators may be skipped.
Usual route: Hwy 108 entrance South on Headwaters Drive –> Carrisa Lane –> Carrisa Way–> Headwaters Lane –> right onto Morningwood Drive –> right onto Queen Elizabeth Drive –> Shallow Brook Lane & Court –> Bilney/Skymist/Leeds Hall –> Morningwood Court –> part of Morningwood Drive –> Whimsey Court –> Whimsey Lane –> part of Morningwood Drive –> Danube Lane & Court –> Sandcastle Lane & Court Hall –> Northeast on Morningwood Drive –> Calico Circle –> North on Headwaters Drive.
Darnell Drive may be done before, after, or concurrently with Sandcastle Lane.
None of this is set in stone but is based on what has been done in the past.
