Town Services

The Town of Harrisburg provides its residents with a wide range of services. Included in these services are water and sewer service, yard waste removal and bulk item pick up service.

The Water & Sewer Department's responsibility is to maintain and improve the long-term quality and reliability of water and sewer services in the Town of Harrisburg. The primary goals are cost control, efficient delivery of service and environmental protection. Accordingly, it is necessary for the Town to maintain and improve the water distribution and sewer systems, to establish and administer sound billing and collection practices that are fair and within North Carolina's General Statues.

Harrisburg Town Limits Tree Limb, Leaf, and Grass Collection
Yard Waste Collection: The Town will pick up leaves, grass and yard waste each week. Leaves and grass must be loose (not bagged), placed behind the curb (not in the road, but as close as practical, within 4-6 ft.). Please be mindful that the same streets can only be collected once per week, and not necessarily on the same day depending on workload. This is particularly true during the autumn months when there are large amounts of leaves to be gathered. Leaves and grass cannot be mixed with sticks, rocks, dirt, brush, paper, etc. If other items are mixed with leaves and grass, the entire load will not be picked up. The pile of leaves and grass must also be at least 8 feet from any sign, water meter, mailbox, or other stationary object, and away from any low overhead lines. Yard waste consisting of brush shall have limbs not to exceed 6 feet in length, stacked loosely with cut ends toward the street. Yard waste consists of shrubs or tree limbs, flowers, and plants only. If you have less than a truckload, there is no charge. However, if you have enough for a truckload, the following fee schedule applies to those pickups. Invoices will be mailed directly to the resident. Please make arrangements with Town Hall for payment.

Full truckload 16 ft long - 6 ft wide - 4ft. high = $100
