About Cramerton, NC
Wikipedia describes Cramerton as a small town in Gaston County east of Gastonia, with 5,296 residents in 2020, 3.7 square miles of land and the South Fork Catawba River making a sharp S-curve through its center. Berry Mountain (922 feet) and Cramer Mountain (about 850 feet) are two high points in its southwest.
Using the Census Gazetteer's internal points, Cramerton sits about 20.7 miles from Indian Land as the crow flies.
Yard debris rules in Cramerton
Cramerton collects leaves year round by 7 a.m. Monday: loose in a parallel row for the vacuum from October to February, bagged or in a 32 gallon can March to September.
The town's yard waste service takes bagged grass clippings and small limbs, and hedge clippings in a 32 gallon can or 5 by 5 foot tarp. Limbs must be under 5 feet long and 6 inches in diameter.
Because Cramerton operates a seasonal leaf service (October to February, bagged March to September), the best cleanups come in passes. We clear the early drop, set the main pile for the crew and return once the late leaves are down, with beds and gutters finished last.
Storm ratings, trees and burn rules
The National Risk Index that FEMA released in December 2025 gives Gaston County an overall rating of relatively moderate. Ice storms rate very high, strong wind relatively high and tornado relatively high, which matters most for tree limbs and debris.
We do not plan jobs around burning, and we ask your fire department or town about open burning rules before anyone lights a pile.
Landscaping in Cramerton
