Fall Leaf Pickup Information

The Leaf Collection Program helps prevent street catch basin blockages, sewer backups into homes and standing water in the roadways that can cause ice patches. The program is not intended to be a landscaping service. Residents should limit leaf collections from their front yards. Following are guidelines:

  • Do not rake leaves into the street, and avoid blocking catch basins. Do not put sticks, rocks or other debris into the leaf piles, which may cause damage to the leaf equipment or injury to city workers.
  • Do not park vehicles on the street in front of the leaf piles during the scheduled week of collection. Parked cars hinder the collection process.
  • If it is not possible to have leaves ready for pickup on the tree lawn during the scheduled time, it is the responsibility of the resident to bag leaves according to Rumpke guidelines and put them out for the trash pickup day.

The exact dates and times for leaf pickup are difficult to predict, but weather permitting, the schedule below will indicate the dates. For additional information, contact the Service Department at 440-885-8980 or 440-885-8191.
