Every year the city works with residents to collect fallen leaves from the curb to create clean and safe neighborhood streets in preparation for the winter season.
Once the leaves have fallen, the city sends leaf crews armed with vacuum machines and rakes, to condense the debris, and keep our streets clean.
2025 LEAF PICKUP IS ONGOING - Crews continue to complete routes for final pickups due to inclement weather.
- Dates: Monday, October 27th - Friday, December 5th
- Time: Residents must rake leaves onto the tree lawn by 7:00 a.m. on their scheduled leaf pickup days. Please rake the leaves into a long line along the tree lawn instead of into one large pile. Do not rake leaves into the street.
Inclement Weather
Delays may occur due to inclement weather; however, every household will receive three leaf pickups before the season ends.
Tips for Successful Leaf Removal
Please do not park cars street-side during scheduled pick-up days, as it may be impossible for the truck to pick up the leaves.
Prepare for Leaf Pickup
- Have leaves at the curb/tree lawn by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day.
- Rake leaves into a long line along the tree lawn, not piles. Avoid placing leaves behind poles, mailboxes, or trees.
- Do NOT rake leaves into the street.
- Leaves mixed with branches, grass, or other debris will not be collected.
- Weather or holiday delays may occur.
- Leaves may also be placed in your tan yard waste cart for pickup. City ordinance prohibits placing leaves in plastic bags, trash, or recycling carts for pickup.
- Rulings of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ban all open burning, including leaves.
