City of Jackson, TN announces 2025-26 Citywide Leaf Pickup Season

Jackson, Tenn. – The City of Jackson announces the start of the sixth season of our citywide leaf pick-up starting Monday, November 17, 2025, through Friday, March 20, 2026.

A Street Department crew will operate each Wednesday to handle all scheduled pickups and 311 citizen requests for leaf collection until the end of the season in March. This schedule allows crews to remain within their assigned districts to perform their duties efficiently.

Leaf Pick-up Guidelines:

Leaf Trucks will run from Monday, November 17, 2025, through Friday, March 20, 2026.
Starting March 21, 2026, leaves will need to be bagged for claw truck pick-up and residents should dial 3-1-1 or make a report on the Jackson, TN – Connect city service app.
Leaves may be picked up from gated communities
Each of the four districts will have a crew assigned to it for the entire season and sweep the entire district before starting over. Crews will not return to collect leaves once they’ve made a sweep through the district.

○ Scheduled pickups will only be available on Wednesdays if a pickup is missed after crews have serviced your area. Please dial 3-1-1 or submit a request on the app.

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.
Please Dial 3-1-1 or refer to the district map showing the four service areas.
