How Stallings handles fall leaves
Stallings collects yard waste every other week: clear biodegradable or paper bags, up to 25 bags of 32 gallons or 12 of 64 gallons per pickup.
Branches must be bundled. Pieces must be under 4 inches in diameter and under 4 feet long, and each bundle must weigh under 50 pounds. One bundle counts as one bag of yard waste. The town also schedules quarterly bulk pickups for household items.
Stallings's pickup works on bags and bundles (every other week), which caps what one household can set out. We stay inside those limits and haul the overflow so nothing sits at the curb past its day.
What storms mean for the yard
Union 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 high and tornado relatively high. Ice and wind work show up in yards as downed branches.
We do not plan jobs around burning, and we ask your fire department or town about open burning rules before anyone lights a pile.
