Leaf removal in Fort Mill: what is different here
Fort Mill gives leaf season a calendar: the town's vacuum truck runs October 15 through March 15. The best Fort Mill cleanups therefore come in rounds. Early leaves from the first maples are bagged or mulched, the main drop is raked into a clean pile at the curb for the truck, and the beds and roof edges are cleared once more after the last oaks let go. Because the town warns pickup may take a week or two, timing the pile matters more than piling early.
Local rules and timing in Fort Mill
The Town of Fort Mill says leaves go to the curb in a pile, not in the road or near storm drains, with sticks and branches in a separate pile because they clog the vacuum tube. From March 16 through October 14, leaves must be bagged for your regular garbage day. Tega Cay is its own city with its own rules, so we confirm the city before we plan the curb.
What the housing data says
ACS data for Fort Mill shows a median home value of $487,500, with 83% of homes owned by their occupants and a median build year of 2011. In leaf season the age of the neighborhood shows in the size of the trees on every lot.
ZIP by ZIP, the median year built reads 29715 (2008) and 29708 (2007).
How we approach it
Leaf season runs in waves, so we plan it as a schedule. A first pass catches the early maples, a main pass follows the heavy drop, and a last pass comes once the late oaks let go. Between passes, wind moves leaves back into beds, which is why the final visit is about beds and edges more than open lawn.

Leaf Removal & Fall Cleanup in Fort Mill: questions
When does Fort Mill's vacuum truck collect leaves?
From October 15 through March 15, on normal garbage days. The town warns that heavy volume can mean a week or two between pickups, so a pile may sit longer than you expect. Source: Town of Fort Mill: Leaf Collection.

Not necessarily. Tega Cay is its own city on Lake Wylie with its own rules, so we confirm which city's rules apply to your street before planning the curb. Source: Wikipedia: Fort Mill, South Carolina.
What if my leaves fall before the vacuum season starts?
Bag them. From March 16 through October 14 the town wants leaves bagged and set out on your regular garbage day, and the vacuum rules only apply once October 15 arrives. Source: Town of Fort Mill: Leaf Collection.
Which Fort Mill yards carry the heaviest leaf load?
Lots near the historic downtown with large hardwoods. The Census median home in town was built in 2011, so most newer neighborhoods have younger trees that drop less. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2020 to 2024.
