Fall leaf removal in Akron
In the fall, Akron will actually pick up your leaves curbside, but you do have to follow a few simple rules. You can either rake your leaves to the curb or put them in biodegradable paper leaf bags. Do not mix in sticks or other debris. The leaf pickup is just for leaves.
If you choose a bagless option, the leaves can be raked right into the street no more than two feet from the curb the day before pickup. Do not park your vehicle on the street the day of pickup, and never park your vehicle over dry leaves as this is a major fire hazard. When available, your 2018 Akron leaf pickup schedule can be found at the link below.
Can you arrange a special pickup?
If you have a lot of yard waste to get rid of, and it won’t fit in your bins, then you do have another option. You can arrange a special pickup. To arrange a special pickup simply call 311 or (330) 375-2311. You must call one week ahead of time, and you are only allowed three special pickups per year, so plan them wisely.
Can yard waste be picked up with normal garbage?
If your yard waste can fit into your normal waste bins, then you’re fine. Otherwise, bundle your yard waste into tied rolls that are no longer than 4 feet long. Though there are no weight restrictions, please make sure they are easily manageable.
