Curbside Leaf Collection Program

The City's curbside leaf collection program begins in late October/early November each year. Each single-family residence in the City will be visited twice by leaf collection crews according to the published Leaf Collection Schedule. Leaves must be raked to the curb by 7 a.m. on the day scheduled for pickup. Bagged leaves are collected year round on Wednesdays, as part of the City's yard waste collection program.

The curbside leaf collection schedule is published each fall in the Bowie Spotlight, on this website, and in local papers. Weather may disrupt the collection schedule.

Please note that some sections may take more than one day to complete. If there are two consecutive days listed for your neighborhood, please make sure that the leaves are at the curb by 7 a.m. on the first day.
