It's that time of year again. The City of Florence Public Services Department is geared up for the 2023 Leaf Collection Program. Last year, the city picked up over 46,566 cubic feet of leaves. All of the leaves were used as compost or fertilizer. This year's program runs from October 23 through December 21. Please click here to view the schedule for your street for leaf collection.

Here are some guidelines for collection:

1. Rake leaves in a row behind the curb. Do not rake in the street. Leaves need to be raked to the curb by 7:00 a.m. the morning of the scheduled pick-up listed on the schedule.
2. Public Services will pick up on residential streets only and not on state routes or commercial streets.
