Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz announced the Leaf Collection Program which will start on Monday, Nov. 7.
A variety of methods will be used to inform residents when leaf collection will occur in each neighborhood. In partnership with local media, we will announce each Friday where City crews will be working and where they will be the following week.
Other ways to determine when crews will be on your street include:
Sign up for Toledo Text Alerts which will notify residents two weeks prior, again one week prior to pick-up, and again when the collection is complete. It will also alert to any changes in pick-up. The link to sign up is: toledo.oh.gov/alerts.
A City of Toledo website map will be available for information on their specific collection week and by searching an address. To access map please visit: toledo.oh.gov/leaf-pickup.
Call Engage Toledo at 419-936-2020
Check the city Facebook and Twitter accounts on Fridays.
Watch for signs to be posted on your street.
“We have reached our leaf pick-up goals for the past two years. This program is designed by employees and it is proven to work,” Mayor Kapszukiewicz said.
In an effort to complete leaf collection by the end of the year the Department of Public Services is asking residents to help:
Rake leaves as close to the pick-up date as possible
When we come to your neighborhood we are asking all cars be off the street in order to get the street as clean as possible. ‘No Parking’ signs will be posted 3-4 days ahead of collection dates
We will not be able to return to an area once we have completed leaf collection. If you miss us, the options are:
Leaves can be composted or can be disposed of in a trash container
Transfer locations available for you to dispose of your leaves for free
Once the leaves are collected our sweeper crews will follow-up to finish the curbed street.
