2020 Dept of Public Works Leaf Collection procedure and schedule

Neighbors,

In past years, residents could sweep leaves from sidewalks and from their front yards into tree boxes and DC Dept of Public Works (DPW) would come around with a team and a truck and vacuum them. We could also, of course, bag leaves and set them out for pickup.?

This year, no vacuuming. DPW will only pick up bagged leaves.?

DPW will be dropping off 20 paper leaf bags to each household to use to bag their leaves.?They say they will distribute these bags around October 30. Note, you can still use your own paper leaf bags. They are just trying to make it easier, not requiring you to use their bags. (But, you should not bag leaves in plastic bags. only paper).

An unlimited number of paper bags can be left for pickup. Again, all leaves MUST be bagged. Bags should be left in tree boxes in front of houses. DPW asks that you put your?bags out on Sunday evening before the Monday of your week for collection.

DPW says that leaf collection begins November 9th. However, our area is scheduled for a few weeks later than this. Here is the posted Leaf Collection Map which allows you to input your address and see when the DC Dept of Public Works will pick up your bagged leaves:?

Note, I tried it. Inputting a wide range of addresses receiving this email, I got two outcomes:
  1. "GROUP 6C": Two leafbag pickups: The first time, sometime between November 23rd and November 28th.And a second time between January 11 and January 16th.
  2. Group 6D: DPW will pick up your leaves twice. The first time, sometime between November 30th and December 5th. And a second time between January 18th and January 23rd.
Follow the link above and type in your home address and you'll see which of these groups/collection weeks you fall under.

best,

?Steve
