Please do not block traffic lanes, parking, roadside gutter pans, or drainage ditches. County ordinances restrict the placement of leaves in these locations, as leaves can ob- struct stormwater drainage. Leaves in our streams and waterways contribute to storm- water pollution, as they often contain dirt, de- bris, and pet waste. Please help keep your neighborhood neat and attractive by properly placing your leaves and promptly calling for leaf vacuum service. Leaf Vacuum Services Henrico County offers a leaf vacuuming ser- vices for $30 per order during the following times: • Nov. 12, 2019 - Dec. 30, 2019 • Feb. 24, 2020 - March 31, 2020 To be eligible for vacuum services, the leaf piles: • Must be accessible from the road in front of your Henrico property. • Must not contain trash, sticks or debris as this prevents the leaves from being recycled.
