The city will vacuum leaves from neighborhood curbs from Monday, April 7-Friday, April 18 in five collection areas throughout Rockville.
Rake leaves next to, but out of, roadways, gutters and bike lanes, and away from parked vehicles. Leaves should be raked by 6 a.m. on the first day of their collection period, but no earlier than one week before the collection dates to avoid grass damage or fire hazards. Remove sticks and other objects from leaf piles. Avoid parking near leaf piles or other vehicles.
Do not dump leaves, grass clippings or other yard waste into storm drains, along stream banks or directly into streams.
