Leaf clearing
Street cleaning takes place throughout the year. In Elmbridge, Mole Valley and Surrey Heath it is carried out by Amey and during the leafing season (October to December), they provide additional support to help deal with the increased number of fallen leaves. To find out which roads have recently had leaves cleared from them during the season, visit the service update pages for Elmbridge, Mole Valley and Surrey Heath.
During this time, additional staff visit roads where a high number of leaves are expected to fall. As this is a busier than usual time for our street cleaning teams, please bear with us if you have submitted a street cleaning request. Higher demand on the service means it may take a little longer for our team to get to your request, but please be assured crews will be along as quickly as they can.
Amey is not responsible for street cleaning in Woking. If you are a Woking resident and would like to submit a street cleaning request, please visit the Woking Borough Council website.
What can residents do to help?
- Do not sweep leaves from driveways or gardens onto footways, paths and roads.
- Collect and recycle leaves that are on your property, either by subscribing to your local garden waste collection service or by composting at home.
