The 2010 Philly Bagged Leaf Drive will begin Monday, November 8, and will end Friday, December 17. During this six-week program, the Philadelphia Streets Department will collect and compost leaves. This year, only bagged leaf collection will be offered to Philadelphia residents receiving City collection of trash and recycling materials.

Collection guidelines for bagged leaf collection:

DO

* Set leaf bags out next to trash and recyclables on trash day

DO NOT
