LEAF COLLECTION UPDATE – LIMITED COLLECTION
The formal leaf vacuum collection program has ended. However, due to weather related issues we were not able to collect leaves in every area. We are doing everything we can to collect as many leaves as possible with limited resources. Our leaf collection crews will provide limited service for areas not receiving a second vacuum pass.
To address the uncollected leaves the County will:
• Extend the bag collection program until January 29, 2010. Leaf bags will be collected on the next business day after your regular trash collection day. Free biodegradable bags will be available until January 22, 2010.
• Provide limited vacuum collection through each zone not receiving a second pass to collect the leaf piles that were not previously collected prior to the snow storm and to address missed collections. Crews will pass though each zone not receiving a second pass, listed below, through the month of February as the weather permits.
In order to have your leaves removed in a timely manner, we recommend bagging leaves for collection in January. We appreciate your patience as we work to restore services disrupted by the snow storm and apologize for any inconvenience that you may experience. If you have questions, please call 703.228.6570.
Leaf Bag Collection
To recycle your leaves, place leaves in biodegradable bags only. Do not use plastic bags! Leaf bags will be collected on the next business day after your regular trash collection day through Friday, January 29, 2010, Mon. – Fri. There will be collection on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 18. Note: If your trash is collected Friday, your last leaf bag will be collected Monday, January, 25th. Get free leaf bags at several locations around the county, through January 22, while supplies last.
