Fall Leaf Collection

The City of Toledo has published the fall leaf collection schedule.  They are planning to start pick-up for 43606 on Wednesday, Nov 14th. You can find the full schedule here. 

Quote from the info page

"Please have your leaves raked to the lawn area between the sidewalk and curb or just behind the curb (or placed in the garbage cans during the regularly scheduled garbage pick-up) not more than two days before the scheduled date of leaf pick-up. If no lawn space is available behind the curb, place leaves in small windrows at the curb. Placing leaves in the street too early creates a slip hazard during rain and wet conditions."

I will say that last year or the year before, we missed leaf collection because they were several days ahead of schedule and we were waiting until the day before to rake for whatever reason. This year I will be sure to have our leaves ready to go the weekend before, even though they only say 2 days.  I do like their tip about keeping leaves on the grass behind the curb though. Leaf season makes narrow roads even more narrow when everyone puts them out into the road, especially doing so several weeks ahead of time.

See you out raking!
