Storm Debris Cleanup and Removal
The City is relaxing some of its normal requirements for removal of tree debris on private property until Tuesday, November 13.  City crews will be collecting tree debris from the curb and public rights-of-way over the next week. If you remove tree debris on your property, place them on the curb in pieces that you can safely handle, even if you have alley collection. If a professional tree removal contractor is hired, they are required to remove all debris from the site.
Leaf Collection
Leaf collection services will start Monday, November 5. Bags will be collected at the front curb one business day after your regular refuse collection day. Don’t know your leaf collection date?  Confused about your ‘leaf collection zone’? Need additional information?  Visit: alexandriava.gov/LeafCollection

• Residents in Zone 2 should rake out on November 3, for pickup on November 5.
• Residents in Zone 3 should rake out on November 6, for pickup on November 8.
