November 3 - January 10
Government of the District of Columbia
Vincent C. Gray, Mayor
Keep catch basins clear of loose
leaves, debris and trash. Clogged
catch basins (storm drains) can
cause increased street flooding
during heavy rain. Please do not
sweep leaves or sidewalk litter into gutters or
catch basins. Organic material, cigarette butts, and
trash washed into catch basins contribute to water
pollution. To report a clogged catch basin, please
call DC Water at 202.612.3400.
Properly dispose of motor oil and other hazardous
materials. Do not dump these items into the catch
basins to prevent polluting our waterways and
harming wildlife. Bring these or other household
hazardous waste items and your unwanted
electronics to the Fort Totten Trash Transfer
Station (address above) every Saturday, except
holidays, from 8 am to 3 pm.
2015 Holiday tree pick-up
Place holiday trees and wreaths next to
your trash container at your regular
collection point. Trees collected between
December 28 - January 10 will be
recycled. After January 10 trees will be
collected with your trash as space allows
in the trash trucks.
Good to know...
Bring leaves to Ft. Totten
Free Compost
4900 John F. McCormack Drive, NE.
Monday to Friday, 1 pm to 5 pm
Saturday, 8 am to 3 pm.
For more information, call 311.
Between March and October, pick up compost
for garden projects at Ft. Totten Transfer Station,
Saturdays between 8 am and 3 pm.
Check the leaf collection status online
at www.dpw.dc.gov.
We are
closed
on
holidays.
Prevent water pollution
Review the schedule in this brochure for your streets
collection weeks.
Rake leaves into the treebox space by the Sunday
scheduled in the brochure.
Once we serve your area, we will not return until
your next scheduled leaf collection week.
Please leaves only! Tree limbs, bricks, dirt, rocks,
etc., will damage the equipment and delay
collections.
Prevent fires and parking problems by placing
leaves in the treebox space, not in the street.
Every street will have at least two collections. During
the first pass, crews will vacuum loose leaves from the
treebox space, collect bagged leaves, and clear
potentially hazardous situations. The second pass
features a more thorough cleaning.
Collections will be made on Veterans Day
(Tuesday, November 11th) and Thanksgiving Day
(Thursday, November 27th).
No collections will be made Christmas Day
(Thursday, December 25th or on New Years
Day (Thursday, January 1st).
The Department of Public Works will collect leaves
from November 3, 2014 through January 10, 2015.
DPW uses vacuum trucks to collect the bulk of the
leaves, which are then composted. We urge residents
to follow the schedule detailed in this brochure when
planning to rake loose leaves into piles in the treebox
space for collection.
DPW will collect bagged leaves from the treebox
space. In neighborhoods with alley trash/recycling
collections, bagged leaves also may be placed where
trash and recycling are collected. These leaves will be
disposed with the trash as space allows in the truck.

Leaf Collection Program
Tips for a Smooth-Running
Leaf Collection Season
Leaf Collection Facts
Snow and ice events will disrupt the
leaf collection schedule because
DPW leaf collection staff support the
Snow and Ice Control Program.
Expect schedule delays when
snow/ice storms are predicted.
