Keep Leaf Piles Clear of Water Meters and Other Hazards This Season
Loose leaf collection season starts November 3rd, and the Town is reminding residents to avoid placing leaf piles near anything that is not leaves, especially their water meters. Residents may be responsible for water meter repair costs up to $300 if damaged. Residents are also reminded to avoid placing leaf piles next to structures such as mailboxes, fire hydrants, and light poles. These are all hazards that can cause damage to property and leaf truck equipment.

The Town of Collierville is proud to announce that Greg Clark, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts, has been awarded the Tennessee Recreation and Parks Association (TRPA) Fellow Award, the organization’s highest professional honor.
The TRPA Fellow Award recognizes individuals who have made significant and outstanding contributions to the parks and recreation profession in Tennessee throughout their careers. It is awarded annually to professionals who have gone “above and beyond their normal and expected duties” in their work with parks, recreation, and conservation.
Clark, who began his career with the Town in 1997 and was appointed Director in 2016, has led Collierville’s parks system through a period of remarkable growth and innovation. Under his leadership, the department has expanded recreational programming, enhanced green spaces, and prioritized long-range planning to meet the needs of a growing community.
