Frederick, MD -- The City of Frederick Department of Public Works will continue the Leaf Collection Campaign through Friday December 21, 2012. Leaves will be collected in all areas at least 3 times throughout this period. The last date for residents to set leaves out for collection is Thursday December 20, 2012.
If you must place leaves in the gutter prior to the scheduled collection dates, please spread them in a lower pile along the gutter to make it easier for the street sweeper to clean the street. In addition, spraying the piles down with water will help keep them from blowing away during periods of high wind.
Please use off-street parking during this time if available. Yard Waste collection will continue as scheduled during the Leaf Collection Campaign. For additional information, please contact the Department of Public Works at 301.600.1440.
