Leaf Collection Begins Next Week In Kingsport

Beginning next Monday, Kingsport’s annual bulk leaf collection gets underway. While there are no set days or times for leaf collection, the city is divided into six zones with each street being run in that area before moving to the next zone. Each zone will be serviced at least nine times during the season and will continue until January 15 2021. The city normally collects between 18 hundred and two thousand tons of leaves each year. The city requests you place the leaves within eight feet of the edge of the street but not in the street and do not park vehicles on top or beside the leaves.
