Fall Clean

Help Prevent Flooding

You can help prevent flooding and improve water quality in your neighborhood and beyond by participating in Fall Clean and adopting a drain. Volunteer to help keep storm drains clear of leaves and debris.

Seattle Public Utilities faces a big job every autumn, trying to keep storm drains from clogging with leaves and flooding streets. As a way to involve citizens, the utility is promoting Fall Clean — a one-month event in November that supports volunteers with free gloves, bags, brooms, rakes, and safety vests, as well as help with leaf disposal.
