Harrisburg: leaves, limbs and curbside rules
Harrisburg takes loose, unbagged leaves weekly behind the curb, 4 to 6 feet from the road and at least 8 feet from signs, meters and mailboxes.
Yard waste must be at least 8 feet from any sign, water meter, landscaping, mailbox or other stationary object, and away from low overhead lines. Brush limbs must be 6 feet or shorter, stacked loosely with cut ends parallel to the street, and the town says yard waste consists of shrubs, tree limbs, flowers and plants only. A full truckload is charged a fee.
Harrisburg collects yard waste on a weekly rhythm (weekly), so timing matters less than preparation: loose or bagged as the town requires, clear of limbs and debris, and set where the crew can reach it.
