Residential Leaf Collection

Overview

The annual fall leaf collection program begins in November and continues for a minimum of three collections over a six week period. This schedule will generally be adjusted to account for interfering weather conditions. Leaves and other yard wastes are collected at other times throughout the year when residents place them in the standard paper yard waste bags on the regular refuse collection days.

Leaf Collection Guidelines

To have your leaves collected, please place them in a pile on the tree lawn in front of your property. No other yard waste should be put into the leaf piles. Leaves can also be placed in paper yard waste bags (no plastic bags) and set out on your regular refuse and recycling collection day.

Please do not rake leaves into the street. Doing so can block storm drains and cause local flooding.

In order to maximize efficiency, residents are asked to not park on the street from 8 AM to 4 PM during leaf collection season. If large leaf piles are blocked by parked cars, individual “No Parking” signs will be posted and there will be an attempt to collect them at a later date. Cars may be towed if necessary.

If you have any questions about leaf pickup, please call (216) 529-6810 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
