“Residents can find weekly leaf collection updates every Friday through DPW’s online leaf tracker at dpw.dc.gov/leaf or by calling the DPW Leaf Line at (202) 671-LEAF (5323). The tracker will be updated every Friday with more precise information on scheduled collection.
In addition to the trackers, leaf collection teams will distribute door hangers in advance to alert residents that they are entering their two-week collection window. Residents should rake leaves to the curb or tree box in front of their home the weekend before their scheduled collection week. On collection days, residents should avoid parking along curb lanes to ensure efficient leaf vacuuming.
Leaf collections will occur twice in each neighborhood for residents who receive DPW trash and recycling services.
