From November to mid-January each year, PBOT’s Leaf Day service helps us provide cleaner, safer streets, keep our storm drains clear, and ensure our intersections don’t flood. PBOT instituted Leaf Day because the amount of leaves in our original 50+ Leaf Zones was simply too much for our regular street cleaning equipment.
