Apex residents enjoy the benefit of weekly leaf (and other yard waste) collection. All collection trucks run continuously, as early and as late in the day as safely possible.  To assist them in speedy collection, please follow these tips:

• Separate your leaves from other yard waste, such as limbs.  These two types of yard waste are collected by different trucks. 
• The best placement of yard waste is at the edge of your yard, as debris in the road can contribute to storm drain clogs.  However, yard waste can be placed along the street at the curb or at the edge of the pavement.
• Do not bag your leaves.  Bagged leaves cannot be collected with our vacuum trucks.

During peak leaf season, it can be difficult for town yard waste collection crews to maintain the scheduled weekly yard waste routes.  Therefore, during the months of November, December and January when demand is high for this service, please note that your weekly collection may sometimes be delayed. 

Take a look at our Yard Waste Collection page for more details.
