Leaves collected by city crews will be sent to ecological collection locations approved by the State of Ohio.
Residents do not need to bag their leafs. Bagged leafs will be collected with regular trash collection. Leaves should be piled along the roadside or curb, but not in the roadway or ditches and not more than 5 feet from the roadway.
Branches, tree limbs, metal, rocks, firewood, or anything else that can cause damage to the leaf collection equipment must be sorted out from the leaf piles. Failure to do so will result in leaves not being collected.
