Red, orange and yellow leaves are falling from area trees as colder temperatures set in. Residents of Washington can take advantage of the city’s leaf vacuum’s curbside collection until November 25. Leaves should be placed on the terrace areas, the space between the sidewalk and street, for the vacuum to pick them up. Leaves should not be put in the street.

In addition, the yard waste drop off site is open from 7 to 10 a.m. each Saturday until the end of November at the waste water plant for additional yard waste.
