Our meeting location is the Pullen Community Center at 408 Ashe Avenue. (This meeting is in-person only\, not a hybrid meeting.) \n\n••••••••\nUPDATE #1:\nCity Councilor Christina Jones will be joining us for the second half of our meeting when we talk about the future options for the City’s annual Loose Leaf Collection Program. Councilor Jones can give us additional information and insights after we watch the presentation “Loose Leaf Collection Program: review and Recommendations”. \nCity Councilor Christina Jones\n••••••••\nUPDATE #2:\nA presentation by Leaf & Limb titled “From Wasteland to Wonder – Easy Ways We Can Help Heal Earth in the Sub/Urban Landscape”. See attached PDF for more information.\n••••••••\nAGENDA\n• Presentation about a new development on Oberlin Road between Bedford Ave. and Roberts St.\n• Brief update about the rezoning case at the corner of N West St. and W Peace St.\n• From Wasteland to Wonder – Easy Ways We Can Help Heal Earth in the Sub/Urban Landscape.\n• Loose Leaf Collection Program: review and Recommendations.\n• Q&A with Councilor Jones\, followed by vote on loose leaf collection options.\n\nAs you may have heard\, Raleigh is now considering future options for the City’s annual Loose Leaf Collection Program. We’ll have a presentation about the program and its future options. Followed by a group discussion\, and then vote on the current 4 options being considered by the City.

(Not the Pullen Art Center on Pullen Road.) \n‘We think they’re mad now?’ Raleigh could end its loose leaf collection program\nBy Anna Roman\nUpdated April 9\, 2025 8:15 PM \nRaleigh homeowners may have to stop raking their leaves to the curb for the city to pick up. \nCity officials are considering ending the program in which homeowners rake their leaves to the curb to be vacuumed up twice a year each fall and winter. \nInstead\, residents could dispose of leaves in biodegradable bags or in the city’s bright green yard-waste carts. \nThe Raleigh City Council met Tuesday afternoon to address complaints about how long leaves remain at the curb. \n“There is a well-documented frustration within the last 15 years\,” said Steve Halsey\, assistant transportation director. “I’ve been with the city 12 years and I have heard it loud and clear\, and researching back to the ‘80s and ‘90s and seeing some of the same topics come up. … As the city gets bigger\, it becomes more and more challenging if you don’t add additional resources.” \nHow could Raleigh’s loose leaf pickup program change?  \nCity leaders will weigh several options: \nNo change: No new resources would be dedicated to the program\, and the status quo would be maintained. \nStaff up: Add staff and trucks to get leaves collected sooner\, with the first round before Christmas. In 2022\, this was estimated to cost $7.5 million the first year and another $2.1 million in ongoing costs. But those numbers have likely gone up\, Halsey said. \nPrivatize: Hire a private contractor for residents to call and schedule their pickup. This is done in Henrico County\, the home of Richmond\, Va. \nCut the program: Instead\, homeowners would bag leaves or put them in the yard waste carts and they would be collected weekly or every other week\, like trash and recycling. This would move the program to Solid Waste Services from Transportation\, and would require 15 new staff members to bulk up the yard waste work already done by Solid Waste Services. The change would go into effect in the fall of 2026. \nWhat did Raleigh leaders say?  \nMost city leaders wanted more information about moving to using bags or carts. \nCity leaders have deferred making changes “for a generation\,” council member Mitchell Silver said. \n“I think we’re all concerned about the cost\, but that decision has been deferred because of cost\, and I think we just have to figure out how to\, over time\, integrate it into our normal operations\,” he said. “But to me\, this is something that is quite important. We’re a city that values trees\, and this is one of the implications of having a heavy canopy of trees\, is that those leaves fall.” \nComplaints about leaf pickup are one of the things people email council member Jonathan Lambert-Melton about the most. \n“I think a lot about our Bringing Neighbors Home project that we just funded\, for example\, and how much of the direct immediate impact on working to eliminate homelessness we were able to make with a relatively small amount of money\, and then the ongoing cost of this program and the cost that would be needed to continue to expand it\,” he said. \nMayor Janet Cowell referred to her first time on the City Council 20 years ago and said there are still people mad at her for changing when their garbage was collected. \n“We think they’re mad now? I mean\, just wait” she said. “There is going to be massive blowback. And that’s not to say I don’t agree we need to make a change\, but I would be very careful about what else we change in the city\, if we decide to move on this. Because it will take a lot of oxygen out of the room.” \nHow are loose leaves collected in Raleigh now?  \nRaleigh divides the city into 12 zones and aims for two sweeps a year. The goal is to complete the first round by Christmas and the second by the end of February. The season begins Nov. 12 and ends March 20. \nHomeowners are notified when their zones are next on the schedule and asked to get their leaves on the curb\, but not block storm drains\, parking spots\, sidewalks or bike lanes. \nLoose leaf pick-up is only for single family homes and not for businesses\, schools or churches. Landscapers are also prohibited from dumping their leaves on the curb. \nDetails about the city’s current program can be found online at raleighnc.gov/leaf. \nOn the city staffing side\, 48 transportation workers who normally maintain sidewalks\, repair pavement\, sweet streets\, mulch and landscape city roads are redirected to the loose leaf program during the fall and winter months. \nIf the city ends pickup\, the city would see a 25% to 35% increase in sidewalk repair and replacement and 15% to 20% increase in street pavement patching\, according to the city presentation. \nWhy are there delays?  \nIce or snow or even rainy weather can delay leaves getting picked up during their scheduled times. \nPickup is also taking longer because Raleigh has grown without adding much staff to the program. \nThe city hasn’t added significant resources to its leaf collection program since 2011. Since then\, the city has gained more than 14\,000 single-family homes and 124 miles of streets to serve\, Halsey said. \n
