Rockville is gearing up for the final round of its leaf collection program, which will start on November 18, aimed at keeping the city clean and tidy as the leaves fall. Crews will vacuum leaves from neighborhood curbs, making it essential for residents to prepare accordingly. To ensure a smooth collection process, homeowners are instructed to rake their leaves close to, but not in, roadways, gutters, and bike lanes. It is important for leaves to be raked by 6 a. m.

on the first day of the scheduled collection period, allowing city crews to collect them efficiently. This initiative not only enhances the visual appeal of the city but also supports local environmental efforts by preventing leaves from obstructing drainage systems. The leaf collection service is a critical component of Rockville's public works, directly benefiting the community's quality of life. Residents are reminded to familiarize themselves with the schedule and participate in this important civic duty. By adhering to these guidelines, residents can contribute to a cleaner, more beautiful Rockville during the fall season.
