City of Akron 2018
LEAF REMOVAL
LEAF COLLECTION UPDATE: The City of Akron will delay the 2018 leaf pick up schedule due to the weather and leaves falling later this year.
Remember not to rake your leaves into the street until the day before your leaf pickup. Leaves need to be on the street by the dates listed - if they are not out, they may not get picked up. The City will make one round through each ward, and the schedule is subject to change due to the weather.
Please check the new start dates for each Ward:
WARD 5 - November 5 - Completed
WARD 3 - November 7 - Completed
WARD 9 - November 9 - Completed
WARD 7 - November 14 - Completed
WARD 6 - November 17 - Completed
WARD 2 - November 21 - Completed
WARD 1 - November 27 - Completed
WARD 8 - November 30 - Completed
WARD 4 - December 7 - In Progress
WARD 10 - December 12
SPECIAL NOTE: You can choose to rake your leaves to the curb or bag them using environmentally-friendly, biodegradable paper leaf bags. If you chose to use biodegradable bags, they must be set out on your scheduled leaf pick up day. These bags are available at many local stores. With either option, the same pickup schedule will be followed.
