Due to the immense amount of leaves, Curbside Leaf Collection is behind the posted schedule. The leaf machines are filling quickly and must be unloaded frequently, thereby slowing the collection process. Crews are collecting in SA8–College Park Woods, and anticipate starting SA5–Rhode Island Ave West later this week (potential snow/weather later this week could delay collection). Please check our website on Friday for an updated calendar here: http://www.collegeparkmd.gov/government/public_works/curbside_leaf_collection.php
