Fall months means falling leaves and localities in the Historic Triangle have options for residents looking to get rid of their leaves.
Williamsburg, York and James City counties offer curbside pick-up options.
Williamsburg
Williamsburg residents can enjoy a free leaves pick-up service from November to January.
Leaves do not have to be placed in bags but should be raked to the curb or road edge by 7 a.m. of the first day of any collection week.
Piles should be in an open area for easy vacuum truck access. Piles behind vehicles, trees, or bushes cannot be picked up, according to the city.
