Vacuum leaf service is available only in those areas that already receive trash collection service from Fairfax County or are petitioning for trash collection in conjunction with the request for leaf collection service.
The same petition process is used for leaf collection as for trash and recycling collection [see: petition process], with the exception that the greater than 50% requirement is based on actual property in the proposed area rather than homes, as required for trash collection service requests. Therefore, the petition signatures of more than 50% of the owners (not renters) of all lots in the district, including vacant property, as well as lots containing houses, are required.
