Falls Church Makes Last Leaf Collection Dec. 27

From The City of Falls Church: The City of Falls Church will make one last round of leaf collection for any leaves properly prepared and at the curb on December 27.

To prepare, rake leaves to the curb, taking caution to avoid raking them into or on top of gutters, sidewalks, and fire hydrants.

Do not include stones, litter, branches, or other debris that may damage equipment or block storm drains.

Keep all other collection material at least five feet away from leaf piles. Do not mix brush or green waste items such as ivy or flowers with leaves. The leaf mulch composting process does not reach temperatures high enough to kill weed spores.After collection, the leaves will be processed into high-quality leaf mulch that will be available at the Recycling Center in March 2017.More information is online at www.fallschurchva.gov/LeafCollection.
