City of Cleveland Reactivates Seasonal Leaf Pick-up Program in Designated Areas

 

Starting November 6 and ending December 31, residents will see Cleveland City workers and eight leaf vacuum vehicles in use during the pick-up process. See the map of designated areas, here.  

Signs will be posted one week prior to service. To streamline the process, residents are encouraged to rake leaves from their property onto the tree lawns -- not into the streets. To accommodate city crews, residents are asked to park off-street, during the service period. Each area will be serviced at least twice during the eight-week period, weather permitting. Leaves will be transported to the approved leaf compost site, diverting more than 2,000 tons of leaf material from the waste stream. For more information, click here.
