VACUUM LEAF
COLLECTIONS COMING For Immediate Release (October 3, 1996)
Leaf collection in the down-county areas, where vacuum collection
services are provided by the County, will run from November 4 through the
middle of December.
Signs announcing the collections will be posted along the streets.
White signs indicate the first collection, and yellow signs will serve as the
second and final notice.
The Vacuum Leaf Collection District is bounded by I-495, I-270, Norbeck,
Bel Pre and Bonifant roads, Northwest Branch Park, and the District of
Columbia and Prince George's County lines.
Leaves should be placed in piles or containers on the grass or behind
the curb. Placing leaves in streets or alleys can disrupt traffic and surface
drainage, hamper snow removal operations or pose a fire hazard to automobiles
parked over them.
Collections are restricted to leaves only. Sticks, branches or coarse
garden debris should be placed in containers or tied in bundles not more than
four feet long and placed where household trash is regularly picked up.
Residents who miss the two scheduled vacuum collections will have to
place their leaves in the proper brown paper (no plastic bags, please) yard
waste bags or reusable containers which will be picked up on the regular yard
waste collection day.

although every effort is made to maintain the posted schedules, weather and
equipment problems can affect the timing.

District, call the Division of Highway Services at 217-2159.
