It’s rainy season – do you know where your storm drains are?

Thrill your neighbors and pedestrians by clearing leaves and debris from the storm drains on your block. Don’t try to unclog the drain if the clog is below the grate: call SPU at 206-386-1800, then press 2 to report a clogged storm drain.

Did you know?

  • Food and yard waste subscribers can place leaves in their container. During the month of November, you are able to place additional bags alongside your yard waste container at no additional charge.
  • If you compost at home, you can dispose of leaves in your compost pile.
  • Call 206-684-7647 to request that bagged leaves be picked up or to request a one-time free coupon to a Seattle transfer station for free disposal.

For more information, see SPU’s “At Your Service” newsletter .

She's a lady with a lopper as volunteer lead of the Burke-Gilman Trail Urban Orchard Stewards, a group that cares for public fruit trees along the Burke-Gilman Trail between Eastern and where Pacific becomes N 34th. In February 2020 Barb founded the current Friends of Meridian Playground which cares for the fruit trees and grounds of the park and holds weekly volunteer work parties on Wednesday noonish. Friday mornings she joins the Tilth Alliance volunteers to manage the care of the fruit trees at the Good Shepherd learning garden.
