The City of Jackson, Tenn., Leaf Machines began running Monday, November 2, 2020 and we go through the end of March of 2021. Crews are assigned to four separate districts within the city limits.
Leaf Pick Up Guidelines
- Leaf Trucks will run from the first Monday in November until the last weekday of March. Starting April 1st, leaves will need to be bagged for claw truck pick-up.
- Each of the four districts will have a crew assigned to it for the entire season. They will start at one side and sweep the entire district before starting over.
- Leaves must be raked into piles at the street within four (4) feet. Any leaves raked after the truck has been on your road will be picked up on the next round through.
- Sticks and limbs are to be placed in a separate pile. Any pile of leaves with excess limbs will be skipped.
- Pick-up is based on weather. If it is raining, snowing, or frozen, our machine will clog. Operation will resume as soon as conditions allow.
- Do not rake leaves over water meters or clean-outs. They will be sucked into the machine and possibly cause damage and delays.
- Do not rake close to mailboxes or guide wires.
- Do not park vehicles around leaf piles. If the leaf pile is blocked, it will be documented and skipped until the next round.
- Do not rake over a rock-lined flowerbed. They will get sucked up and damage the machine causing delays and expense of repairs.
- We do not pick up in trailer parks, apartment complexes, churches, and industrial parks.
