CITY OF FREDERICK ANNOUNCES DETAILS OF ANNUAL LEAF COLLECTION

Frederick, Md. --- Please be advised that the City of Frederick will be conducting its annual Leaf Collection November 14 th through December 9 th.

Prior to the collection, the City’s street sweepers will collect leaves along the gutters during their regular sweeping schedule. Residents are asked not to rack large leaf piles into the street prior to November 15 th to avoid overloading the street sweepers. 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 sweeper to collect.

Also please use off street parking if available.
