2012 Annual Leaf Collection Campaign
Bagged Leaves Will Also Be Collected During Regularly Scheduled Yard Waste Collection
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Frederick, MD -- The City of Frederick Department of Public Works will begin the Annual Leaf Collection Campaign on Monday, October 29, 2012 and continue through Friday December 21, 2012. Leaves will be collected in all areas at least 3 times throughout this period.
All City residents may begin to set out leaves for collection on Sunday, October 28, 2012. The last date for residents to set leaves out for collection is Sunday December 20, 2012. Residents are asked not to rake large leaf piles into the streets PRIOR to October 28th to avoid overloading the street sweepers. If you must place leaves in the gutter prior to the scheduled collection dates, please spread them in a lower pile along the gutter to make it easier for the street sweeper to clean the street. In addition, spraying the piles down with water will help keep them from blowing away during periods of high wind.
Yard Waste Collection will continue as scheduled during the Leaf Collection Campaign. Residents also have the option of bagging leaves to be collected on their regularly scheduled Yard Waste collection days.
Please use off-street parking during this time if available. n. For additional information, please contact the Department of Public Works at 301.600.1440.
