Leaf season in McAdenville
McAdenville has weekly Monday yard waste collection in a 96 gallon yard waste cart from Waste Pro, set at the curb by 7:00 a.m.

Storms, trees and burning
FEMA's December 2025 National Risk Index lists Gaston County as relatively moderate for overall risk, very high for ice storms, relatively high for strong wind and relatively high for tornadoes. After storms, the yard problem is usually limbs.
Burning is never part of our plan. If you are thinking about it, check with the town or fire department first.
