The City of Alexandria will begin its annual leaf vacuuming and leaf bag collection program today, October 28. Leaf collection is expected to continue through mid-January.
Alexandria is sectioned into five collection zones (see map below), each with a specific start date and three separate passes. Residents who receive City trash and recycling collection services may recycle leaves in three ways:
Please do not mix brush(branches, sticks, and woody materials)or other items with leaves, as these items may injure City workers, damage equipment or private property, or cause delays.
Residents may receive leaf collection status updates by signing up for the Alexandria eNews service or by following the Department of Transportation & Environmental Services on Facebook, X, or Instagram.
Visit alexandriava.gov/LeafCollection to determine specific collection zones and dates, and to find locations where free, biodegradable leaf bags may be picked up.
