Free Extra Yard Waste Pickup Every Collection Day in November Seattle Public Utilities
encourages residents to keep streets leaf-free to prevent flooding
SEATTLE (October 30, 2025) – Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) offers free extra yard waste pickup for all household food and yard waste customers each week throughout November.
When customers keep leaves off streets and out of storm drains, it reduces ponding and flooding during fall storms. To support this, customers can put out up to 10 extra bags of leaves for free each collection day in November.
Customers should place extra leaves in:
Paper or certified compostable lawn and leaf bags, or
Personal reusable containers with lids.
Winter weather is here, and SPU encourages customers to take these additional steps to keep streets and drains clear, report problems, and stay informed:
Report clogged drains through the Find It, Fix It app.
For urgent drainage, wastewater, and drinking water issues, call SPU’s 24/7 Operations Response Center at (206) 386-1800.
