Report a Suspected Bloom

Autumn is Upon us!

The annual Fall Leaf Coupon Program offers free recycling for leaves Oct. 1 – Dec. 31, courtesy of the City of Vancouver and Clark County Public Works.


In addition to cleaning up your yard, you are also helping to prevent storm drains from getting clogged with leaves that can cause rainwater to pool and flood streets. Keep our neighborhoods safe and clean by avoiding blowing or raking leaves into the street.


Remember: storm drains affect the watershed, so only rain water should go down the storm drains.
