The Fall 2009 Leaf Vaccuming begins today!

Today is the first day of the 2009 leaf vacuuming program!  The Montgomery County Department of Transportation's Division of Highway Services, one of our sister agencies, provides this service in the Leaf Collection District.  This District's general boundaries are: south of Bel Pre Road, east of I-270/I-495 and west of New Hampshire Avenue, to the District line.

Please help crews by

• Noting the information on the posted signs
• Raking leaves to the road edge (not into the street itself) or placing leaves in paper yard waste bags.
• Not placing leaves out for collection in plastic bags.
• Keeping parked vehicles away from leaf piles

Read full details on leaf vacuuming, including a service area map and progress updates.

Don't have leaf vacuuming service in your neighborhood?  We provide our weekly curbside yard trim collections -- including leaves in paper yard trim bags or reusable cans -- year-round!  You may order yard trim decals for your cans online.  Also, consider composting leaves.  We offer compost bins at no additional charge to you.

Keep all of our yard trim links handy through one convenient web page: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/yardtrim
