Leaf Pick Up Starts November 2, 2020 in Tullahoma

The City of Tullahoma Public Works Department will begin on Monday, November 2 to run the city’s leaf routes. A schedule is located at https://www.tullahomatn.gov/leaf-collection-routes/. Due to weather conditions, the timing is not exact, but residents can monitor the progress as the list is updated daily.

Public Works recommends the green bag program (or bio degradable bags) for fastest leaf collection. Leaves bagged in biodegradable green bags and placed at the curb will be picked up in about 72 hours once a pick-up request has been made to Public Works. These bags can be purchased at City Hall for $4.40 for 20 bags. Call Public Works at 454-1768 to request bags to be picked up. These bags are then composted and mulched.

Loose Leaf Collection

Another option is to rake your leaves to your curb. In order to efficiently cover the entire city, the Department works two to three sections of the city at a time. Public Works plans to cover each neighborhood of the city at least three times during the collection program.

“Please watch for our crews and slow down and be cautious,” said Public Works Director, Butch Taylor. “We will get the leaves picked up, and we ask that you be sure that your piles are free from large debris that could break the equipment. When the equipment breaks, it is costly and slows the process for all residents,” he continued.

Public Works also reminds residents to not block drains with leaves because this causes flooding in heavy rains.

The city dumps leaves at the mulching operation to be composted and mulched. Last season the City of Tullahoma collected over 1,500 tons of leaves that were processed for mulch and moved to a mulching company to be sold by them as a recycled product.

Leaves should be raked as close to the street or existing ditches as possible, but not into the street or ditch. If there is a ditch, leaves should be left on the property owner’s side of the ditch. Crews will gather all leaves raked for collection in this manner. Check your route at the City’s web site http://www.tullahomatn.gov/leaf-collection-routes or contact the Public Works Department at 454-1768. Public Works ask that residents be patient during peak times.

Helpful tips:

  • Please rake your leaves curbside as soon as possible;
  • Please do not place your leaves more than five feet from the curb or shoulder (unless there is a ditch);
  • Please do not block storm drain inlets. It may cause flooding.
  • Please do not mix tree limbs or stumps, metal, lumber or any other debris with your leaves. This may injure our employees or damage the equipment.
  • In order to progress as quickly as possible, the crews will not be able to go back to areas to pick up leaves placed behind them.
