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 2 - November 21
WARD 3 - November 7 -- COMPLETED WARD 1 - November 27
WARD 9 - November 9 - COMPLETED WARD 8 - November 30
WARD 7 - November 14 - SWEEPING WARD 4 - December 7
WARD 6 - November 17 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.
