East Toledo Leaf Collection Will Occur Nov. 25 through Nov. 27

Leaf collection in East Toledo will begin Monday, Nov. 25 and run through Wednesday. Nov. 27. All of East Toledo – the 43605 zip code – will be collected during the three-day period. There will not be a second collection in the area.

Residents and business owners are asked to rake leaves to the curb on the side of the street with even address numbers. They are also asked to park vehicles only on the side of the street with odd address numbers during the three-day period.

Please make every attempt to place leaves only on the side of the street with even address numbers, and only park vehicles on the side of the street with odd address numbers during the three-day period in order to get the streets as clean as possible.

City crews will leave a tag at the homes where parked vehicles prevented the collection of leaves. It will include information on what to do with leaves that are left behind under vehicles. If residents or business owners miss the collection, they should not place leaves in the street. At that point, the options are:

• Compost the leaves.
• Take the leaves to one of four transfer locations that will be available free disposal. They are at Bowman Park, Detwiler Park, Ravine Park, and the ODOT facility at Detroit and Glendale avenues. The sites are open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
• Dispose of leaves in your gray trash container.
