Leaf Removal

The City of Akron's annual leaf removal program kicked off at the end of October and will continue through December. Signs will be posted in the various wards prior to pick-up dates.

The City’s leaf collection program only permits the raking of leaves into the street within two feet of the curb the day before the scheduled collection day for that street (posted by signage on streets). Leaf piles in the street can and will block and plug up storm sewers and combined sewers if left for too long which is why there are fines and penalties for violations.

All the wards will take more than one day to complete. Residents should have leaves on the street one day prior to the date listed or they may not get picked up. Be aware that the schedule is subject to change if adverse weather conditions prohibit removal.
