Concord: leaves, limbs and curbside rules
Concord vacuums loose leaves curbside from late October or early November to February on a published schedule, and takes bagged leaves year round.
The loose leaf page asks residents not to mix limbs, rocks or other material into leaf piles, so limbs travel on a separate route. We confirm the current limb rules on the city's yard waste page before a limb job.
A seasonal pickup in Concord (late October or early November to February) rewards good prep. Leaves go loose and clean at the curb, away from storm drains, and the rest of the yard waste is staged separately so the crew can pass without skipping the pile.

Cabarrus County's overall rating in FEMA's December 2025 National Risk Index is relatively moderate. Its ice storm rating is very high, with strong wind relatively moderate and tornado relatively moderate. Ice and wind work show up in yards as downed branches.
