Curbside Leaf Collection

Curbside vacuum leaf collection runs from November 4 through December 19 from approximately 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each single family neighborhood in Bowie will have two collection dates. Residents should rake leaves into piles at the edge of their grass by 7 a.m. for pickup by the City crews. Crews will work rain or shine. However, in the event of snow or ice storms, leaf collection will be temporarily suspended, as the trucks and crews will be redeployed to salt or plow City streets.

For more information, call 301-809-2344.
