Keep Leaves Out of Streets
From City: Please help us prevent
flooding in your neighborhood by cleaning leaves off storm drains
and out of streets. Fallen leaves pile up on storm drains on our
streets, blocking rainwater from draining, which can lead to
localized flooding. City crews work hard to keep storm drains
clear of leaves, but with over 12,000 drains in Kirkland, we could
use your help!
Learn more on how to prevent flooding at kirklandwa.gov/flooding.
If severe flooding occurs in your neighborhood, please call our
24/7 hotline at (425) 587-3900 for assistance from a City crew.
During the month of November, the collection of extra yard
waste will be free for single family residences in Kirkland.
To participate in this November program, first fill your yard
waste cart with leaves and yard debris. Then, place extra yard
waste next to your cart in a paper yard waste bag or your own
durable container labeled “yard waste.” Do
not place yard waste in plastic bags, which are not
compostable and will not be picked up.
