🍂 LEAF COLLECTION BEGINS OCTOBER 19! 🍂

The City of Sevierville Public Works Department’s annual leaf collection will begin October 19, 2026, and is scheduled to continue through mid-January 2027.

Residents have two options for leaf collection:

🍁 BAGGED LEAF COLLECTION

Bagged leaves, along with other bagged yard waste, will be collected during the City’s regular bulk rubbish/junk collection on a bi-weekly basis.

Residents may call 865-429-4567 to request a work order, or simply place bagged leaves at the curb.

🚫 NO SPECIAL PICKUPS WILL BE MADE.

🍂 VACUUM LEAF COLLECTION

Public Works crews will make every effort to be in each neighborhood every two weeks to vacuum loose leaves.

The City is divided into three sections, and once crews complete a full sweep of the City, they will begin again. This process will continue throughout the leaf collection season.

Please keep in mind that peak periods and equipment breakdowns may cause collection to take longer than two weeks.

🚫 NO SPECIAL PICKUPS WILL BE MADE.

✅ TIPS FOR VACUUM LEAF COLLECTION

🍂 Rake leaves into rows no more than 3 feet wide.

🚗 Please do not park vehicles in front of leaf piles. Blocked piles will not be collected until the crew returns to the area and the pile is accessible.

🪨 Keep leaves free of limbs, rocks and other debris. Mixed piles will not be collected until the crew returns and the materials have been separated.

🚫 Do not place leaves in the street.

Sevierville water system customers:

You may notice discoloration in your water today. The discoloration is usually caused by rust, manganese, sediment, or naturally occurring minerals being stirred up in the water lines due to hydrant flushing, maintenance work, or changes in water flow. While it may not look appealing, water testing indicates there is not a health concern.

Our crews are currently flushing known affected areas throughout the system, and if needed, we will send service workers to perform additional flushing in your area. If your water does not clear up in the next 24 hours, please let us know and we will investigate further. If you have any questions or would like additional service, please contact the Sevierville Water and Sewer Department at 865-453-5522.

What a great day at our Roadeo on Thursday!

Our employees put their skills, precision, and professionalism, to the test in a series of equipment challenges that showcased the talent and dedication they bring to work every day. Competitors participated in 4 events featuring a backhoe, knuckle-boom truck, side-loading garbage truck, and skid steer.

Events like the Roadeo not only promote safety and operational excellence, but also provide opportunities for teamwork, friendly competition, professional development, and the chance to build camaraderie among coworkers. The winners will represent the City of Sevierville at the statewide Roadeo competition in Knoxville later this year.

A BIG thank you to all participants, organizers, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this year’s event a success! We are proud of the hard work, skill, and commitment demonstrated by everyone involved!

To finish out , we take into consideration how Public Works will impact future generations.

Last Wednesday, we had the opportunity to attend CareerQuest Sevier County. This annual event connects students with area business and government entities to explore local career paths. During this event, we had the pleasure of explaining the different careers that makes up our Public Works Department and city as a whole. Programs like these helps our department to inspire students to pursue education and training in skilled trades or public service careers.

In the long term, these learning experiences can help prepare our future generations contribute positively to our city’s growth and development. A big Thank You to everyone who participated!

Continuing our Public Works Week Celebration, today is ! One of our throwback projects would be the paving of our wonderful greenway that travels through our City Park.

This started circa 2014 & has been a serviceable addition ever since. The walking trail at Sevierville City Park 0.5 miles long and connects directly to the Memorial River Trail Greenway, which delivers another 2 miles of paved trail along the Little Pigeon River.

While the greenways are maintained and managed by Sevierville Parks & Recreation Department, our Public Works crews are proud to play a key role in the construction process through jobsite management, coordination, oversight, and paving of the trail systems that help connect the community to these scenic outdoor spaces.
