Leaf cleanup in Matthews, rule by rule
The Town of Matthews collects yard waste weekly on your regular service day through Waste Pro. The town's page says yard waste can no longer go in plastic bags. Residents can use paper bags, tarps, Leaf Burritos or their own reusable container clearly marked YARD WASTE, and each bag, tarp or container must weigh under 40 pounds. Up to 20 paper bags of 30 gallons or less are allowed per home per week. Free paper yard waste bags are available at Town Hall and Public Works, limited to 10 per household per year. Residents should not blow grass, leaves or debris into the street or storm drain.
Pickup season and what the town takes
Bag limits in Matthews (weekly on your service day) mean a heavy leaf year can outrun a single pickup. We split big cleanups across visits or take the surplus ourselves.
Limbs are collected in 4 foot lengths, stacked no more than 3 feet high, up to 5 inches in diameter, in no more than three stacks. The town does not take tree trunks, stumps, root balls or firewood, and Mecklenburg County prohibits burning yard waste.
Haul-off on a hired cleanup
The town pages we read do not say who hauls debris from contracted work in Matthews, so we plan on our own crew taking away everything we generate and say so in the estimate.
What the housing data says
By Census ACS figures, the typical Matthews home was built in 1994, among 30,577 residents. That age range pairs full-size trees with plantings that are ready for editing. Expect several passes, because oaks and maples drop in waves.
Census ZIP areas report a median year built of 28105 (1996).
What a visit looks like
Blowers and rakes bring leaves to one staging point. Whether they are bagged, hauled or mulched is spelled out up front.
