Leaf Vacuuming Pilot Continues
2009 LEAF VACUUMING PROGRAM
The City of Baltimore will conduct leaf vacuuming this year in 13 heavily-wooded neighborhoods. Residents will be notified by postcard before vacuuming begins and signs will be posted throughout the community prior to the scheduled week for specific areas.
Residents who wish to continue to bag their leaves may do so. Bagged leaves will be collected on your trash collection day.
Communities receiving leaf vacuuming this year include:
November: Guilford, Roland Park, Homeland
December: Mt. Washington, Howard Park, Hunting Ridge, Westgate, West Hills
January: Ten Hills, Beverly Hills, Original Northwood
February: Arcadia, Morgan Park
Service will run Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Rake leaves along the street curb before Monday morning. Please don’t rake leaves into the street after we have vacuumed. After a street is vacuumed, only bagged leaves will be collected. In order to make our operation more efficient, residents are asked to move cars off of the street during hours of operation.
Please note, this information may be updated and adjusted depending on leaf accumulations. Call 311 for the latest news.
NOTE: You can enter your address on the City’s iMap to find out if you have leaf vacuuming this year and when we will be coming to your community. Go to www.baltimorecity.gov and click on Interactive Maps.
