The DC Department of Public Works will collect leaves twice this season, on the following schedule for Glover Park:
We are Ward 3, Area "E":
Cycle 1: rake leaves by December 4th, for collection December 5th-9th
Cycle 2: rake leaves by January 8th for collection January 9th-13th
Process:
Rake leaves into the tree box area between the street and sidewalk. DPW will rake leaves into the street just prior to vacuuming.
You may leave loose leaves, or bag in paper bags.
Do not rake leaves into the street, as it causes a hazard for cars and pedestrians, and can clog gutters.
Remove sticks, rocks, dirt, trash and other debris which may damage vacuuming equipment.
Bagged leaves may also be discarded in regular trash, but will not be composted.
