How leaf removal works in Gastonia
The City of Gastonia says its leaf collection season is October 15 to February 15, and that leaves are picked up at least twice a month, with delays expected from the week of Thanksgiving through New Year. Residents rake leaves into a loose pile at the curb, do not bag them and keep them separate from branches, twigs and other debris. Leaves placed in a yard waste cart are collected on the regular garbage or cart day. Residents can also drop leaves at the Duke Street Resource Center free of charge, and an interactive map and the Wastewise app show real-time collection updates.
The town's calendar and limits
When a town runs a leaf vacuum (October 15 to February 15 in Gastonia), the cleanest cleanup is a pile at the curb and nothing in it but leaves. We rake to that standard and move other debris to a separate stack or a trailer.
After leaf season, leaves can go in a yard waste cart or a 32 gallon container for collection as yard waste, and leaves left at the curb during that time must be scheduled with the Solid Waste Division for a fee.
Who hauls the debris
The town pages we read do not say who hauls debris from contracted work in Gastonia, so we plan on our own crew taking away everything we generate and say so in the estimate.
The numbers behind Gastonia yards
Homes in Gastonia have a median build year of 1978 in the ACS (2020 to 2024), with 82,884 people counted. Houses of that age have trees at or near full height, so leaf and limb loads are heavy. Young trees drop less, but builder plantings are catching up.
Within Gastonia, the median year built breaks down as 28052 (1967), 28054 (1979), 28056 (1988) and 28086 (1983).
