Autumn leaf sweep
Reigate and Banstead’s sweeping team are up to their wheels in leaves in Winter. We have a fleet of six mechanical sweepers keeping paths clear.
Borough Community Officers have identified those roads that suffer from significant accumulation of leaves and our sweepers are targeting piles of wet leaves in order to keep footpaths open and pedestrian routes clear.
All of the leaves collected are composted, which will amount to around 500 tonnes.
Leaf sweeping continues until early January, by which time the borough will be substantially clear of leaves.
Compost your leaves
Residents are encouraged to create leaf mulch at home by composting fallen leaves or to subscribe to our garden waste recycling service and use your brown bin to store cleared leaves until collection for composting.
Report it
Members of the public requesting an additional leaf sweep should report it online.
