Leaf Collection Campaign

The Leaf Collection Campaign will run continuously through the City of Frederick beginning November 10, 2008 through December 24, 2008. Our goal is to collect leaves in all areas at least three times throughout the period. All City residents may begin to set out leaves for collection on Sunday, November 9, 2008. The last date for residents to set leaves out for collection is December 21, 2008. Residents are asked not to rake large leaf piles into the streets prior to November 9th 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. Also spraying the piles down with water will help keep them from blowing away during periods of high wind. Please use off street parking during this time if available. For more information, please contact the Dept of Public Works at 301-600-1440.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL TOWN HOUSE AREAS OF WHITTIER: To be sure that the leaves are actually retrieved by the City truck, do not sweep leaves along the curb where parking spaces are located. The City truck does not usually go in this area. Instead, sweep leaves along the curb on the city street-along the gutter side. Do not sweep leaves on the islands-as the sweeper truck cannot retrieve them.
