Toledo leaf collection

Press Release from the City of Toledo:

Toledo to begin leaf collection November 7

The City of Toledo will begin its 2011 leaf collection program on Monday, November 7, 2011.

Collection will begin in both curbed and uncurbed streets of zip code 43613 and uncurbed streets in zip code 43623. Signs announcing leaf collection in each neighborhood will be posted detailing specific collection dates in each neighborhood. Please remember to leave plenty of room between your vehicle and our crews during collection operations.

As a reminder, this collection is for loose leaves only. Crews will not collect general yard waste including brush, sticks, or bags of leaves or grass clippings.

Leaves should be raked to the edge of the pavement on uncurbed streets and just over the curb on curbed streets. Residents are asked not place leaves on any boulevard or cul-de-sac islands.

Upon conclusion of leaf collection, any remaining leaves can be mixed with your solid waste and placed out for refuse collection.
