The Leaf Collection and Recycling Program is one of several services provided by the Philadelphia Streets Department to honor the city’s ongoing commitment to recycling. The recycling program helps to reduce the amount of materials that reach the waste stream and saves landfill space.

The 2015 Leaf Collection and Recycling Program runs through Saturday, Dec. 19.

Bagged leaf drop-off will be offered citywide, on Saturdays only starting Nov. 21, at 23 locations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (with the exception of the Saturday following the Thanksgiving holiday).

Drop-off locations include: 66th & Haverford Ave., 54th & Woodbine Ave., 43rd & Powelton Ave., and 72nd & Buist Ave. in West Philadelphia, and Broad & Christian St., 20th & Hartranft St., and 15th & Bigler St. in South Philadelphia.
