From now until the end of November, you can set out extra bags of leaf and yard waste for free pickup on your collection day.
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is offering the extra yard waste collection to encourage folks to clean up leaves so they don’t end up blocking storm drains or building up in the stormwater system. Blocked draining can cause damaging runoffs into Salmon Bay and the Puget Sound.
SPU said customers can set out up to 10 extra bags of leaves each collection day in November for no additional charge. They ask that you put extra yard waste (no food) into a paper or compostable lawn and leaf bag (not plastic) or a reusable container with a lid.
