Leaf Collection Program 2018-2019
Do Don’t
Place leaves in the
street instead of at the
curb or in the tree box
and parking issues.
Sweep leaves, litter,
or other debris into
gutter or catch basins
(storm drains). Clogged
catch basins can
during heavy rains
and further contribute
to water pollution.
Rake leaves into
tree boxes or to
the curb after your
scheduled collection.
Place tree limbs, bricks,
dirt, rocks, etc. into
tree boxes or at the
curb for collection.
Place only piles
of leaves in tree
boxes or at the curb
for collection.
Bring leaves, tree
limbs, overgrowth from
your alley, and other
yard debris from your
private landscaper
to the Fort Totten
or Benning Road
Transfer Stations.
Feel free to bring holiday
trees and greenery to the
Fort Totten or Benning
Road Transfer Stations.
Report clogged storm
drains by calling DC
Water at (202) 612-3400.
