PLEASE NOTE THE START OF LEAF SEASON HAS BEEN POSTPONED BY ONE WEEK. NEW PICKUP DATES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE ROUTE SEARCH.
Mayor Don Walters announces that the 2024 Citywide Leaf Pick-up Program will begin Monday, November 4, 2024, and run through Friday, December 13, 2024.
Each residence receives three (3) scheduled leaf pick-up dates. Scheduled pick-up dates and routes can be found by visiting www.cityofcf.com, clicking on the Leaf Pickup Program link, or calling the Leaf Line at 330.971.8031.
Leaves must be raked to the curb onto the tree lawn by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of pickup. Leaves must be raked into a long line along the tree lawn instead of into one large pile. Do not rake leaves into the street. Leaves will not be picked up if mixed with tree limbs, debris, or any additional waste. Please do not park cars along streets during scheduled pick-up days, as it may be impossible to remove the leaves.
Leaf Crews will pick up bulk lines of leaves on scheduled dates. All leaves will be picked up directly from the tree lawn. When placing the leaves along the tree lawn, please avoid placing the leaves behind all obstructions such as poles, mailboxes, and trees. Inclement weather conditions or holidays could cause minor delays in the collection program.
Please note that leaves placed in brown paper yard waste bags will not be picked up. After leaf pickup is complete, leaves will only be picked up in tan yard waste carts on city trash pickup days. Brown paper yard waste bags are no longer accepted. Do not place leaves in plastic bags or any other container for trash pickup, as it is prohibited by City ordinance. Rulings of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency prohibit all open burning, including leaves.
