🍂 Seeing lots of leaf accumulation on your street? Residents can sign up with the Adopt-A-Street program, in which Public Works provides tools like rakes, brooms, pickers, and compost leaf bags to volunteers who want to clean the sidewalk. DPW will pick up any bags generated from Adopt-A-Street cleanups.

If leaves are accumulating at a nearby catch basin, residents can sign up for SFPUC’s Adopt-A-Drain program. If neighbors are unable to remove accumulated leaves and the accumulation is beginning to pose a hazard for the public right-of-way, please notify SFPUC by filing 311 requests.
