Fredericksburg, Texas – The City of Fredericksburg’s Fall/Winter Leaf Collection Program will wrap up on Friday, Jan. 30.

The City started collecting leaves in early November 2025, but with many leaves still falling throughout the holidays crews made the decision to continue the service through the end of the first month of 2026.

Offered twice a year, the leaf collection is free of charge to all residential garbage customers to encourage community beautification.

During this program, residents are encouraged to gather leaves from their property and rake them to the street.

Residents must follow these guidelines to ensure pick up:

• Rake leaves onto the street,12 inches from the curb.
• Do not mix limbs, twigs, wire, rocks, bricks, or other debris with leaves. These items will damage the leaf collection equipment. If you cannot remove the debris from your leaf pile, please call the Street Department to arrange a special pick up. There will be a minimum $100 fee for this service.
• Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles. The collection equipment cannot maneuver around vehicles and will not be able topick up leaves.
