The D.C. Department of Public Works will collect leaves from November 8, 2010 through January 15, 2011.  Residents can rake loose leaves into piles in the curbside treebox space -- not the street -- for collection.

Every street will have at least two collections.  Bagged leaves will collected with trash, as space permits.  You can find more information and the city's leaf collection schedule here.
