Free Disposal
Wondering what to do with your autumn leaves each year? Help manage leaves with free coupons.
To help residents take care of fallen leaves, City of Vancouver Solid Waste Services offers fall leaf coupons for free disposal at designated drop-off sites. Vancouver and Clark County residents can redeem the free leaf disposal coupons from October 1 through December 31. This coupon is for leaves only.
Proper removal and disposal of leaves from our yards and street gutters help prevent pools of standing water and localized street flooding. Residents and businesses should not rake or blow leaves into the street where they can block storm drain catch basins.
- Free fall leaf collection is over for the season. Please check back next fall for your free leaf disposal coupon.
October 1 through December 31: Get your coupon before heading out with a load of leaves. Drop-off sites don’t typically have extra coupons.

Explore disposal alternatives and composting options
In Vancouver, property owners are responsible for managing the leaves from their trees. Deliberately raking or blowing leaves into the street and leaving them there is unlawful. Street sweepers are generally no match for big, wet, heavy piles of leaves, which can cause localized flooding. The free leaf disposal program is intended to provide options for residents with a lot of trees, while furthering Vancouver’s climate goals by managing current environmental impacts and supporting Washington laws to divert organic material from landfills.
There are many alternatives for disposing of leaves and other yard debris. Check out free composting workshops or programs through Waste Connections’ optional organics services for Vancouver residents. Learn proper pruning techniques for your trees and other vegetation.
