It's Leaf Season in Cambridge
Did you know that last fall Cambridge Department of Public Works (DPW) collected 15,000 barrels of yard waste? Thanks to help from residents, that's 833 tons of leaves that didn't clog storm drains or pollute our local rivers and streams.
Rake or sweep leaves from paved surfaces (driveways, sidewalks, and curbs) for curbside yard waste collection. Rake early and often and keep leaf piles away from storm drains. Yard waste collected in Cambridge is composted to make rich soil - further reducing our city's climate impact.
