Leaf Compost Pick up Set for April 2

Loose and bagged leaves collected by the Town are composted into leaf mulch. This mulch can be used as a soil additive, for composting, and is available to Blacksburg residents for pick up. This is an important service as composted leaf mulch keeps leaves out of the landfill. Leaves can take up valuable landfill space, and produce harmful greenhouse gasses. This year, the compost can be picked up on April 2, from 8am-12pm.  To arrange the pickup, residents must register and follow the guidelines below.

• Leaf compost service is for Blacksburg residents only
• Register for a 15 minute time slot
• Do not arrive more than 10 minutes before your time slot
• Please remain parked in the upper lot until you are directed to the compost zone, where Town staff will load your vehicle.
• Limit is two cubic yards per vehicle
• Do not block access to the road leading to the compost zone
• Once loaded, please exit promptly
