The 2021 Philly Leaf Recycling Program runs Monday, November 8 through Saturday, December 18, 2021. The program is one of several services provided by the Streets Department to honor the City’s on-going commitment to recycling.
This recycling program helps to reduce the number of materials that reach the waste stream and saves landfill space.
