City of Bay Village 2020 Leaf Collection

The Service Department will officially begin the curbside leaf collection program on Monday, October 26, 2020.

We will, as in the past, begin our collection at the far east end of the City and work west until we complete a city-wide pick-up. We will then start the collection process all over again, beginning at the east end.

Residents should collect their leaves and place them at the curb whenever possible. The Service Department’s goal is to provide residents with a weekly collection. In situations where crews are slowed due to heavy volume or inclement weather, we will work longer hours and weekends to provide the quality of service residents have come to appreciate.

It is imperative that only leaves be placed on the tree lawn for collection. Branches and other debris should not be included or mixed in with the leaves as this causes the suction tube to become clogged and down-time to occur. Leaves mixed with debris will not be picked up.

PLEASE DO NOT RAKE LEAVES INTO THE STREET DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD (C.O. 543.05 Materials on Street or Sidewalk).

The Service Department places a priority on its curbside leaf collection program, especially during the peak volume period; therefore, brush placed on the tree lawn for brush collection may be delayed until additional manpower can be assigned.

Residents can place yard waste and small amounts of brush in brown yard waste bags or garbage cans marked “YARD WASTE” on the curb with their regular trash for pickup until December 1, 2020. The contractor will resume yard waste collection, in brown yard waste bags/containers on April 13, 2021.

Leaf collection will terminate the week of December 14, 2020, weather-permitting. Leaves on the tree lawns after this date can be placed in the blue refuse can for regular trash pick-up, or bagged (in garbage bags) and placed on the curb for pick up by the refuse contractor on the third Tuesday of the month for bulk pick up until the yard waste collection resumes.

Residents having questions may contact the Service Department at 871-1221, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The location of leaf trucks will be posted on the City’s website and is updated daily.
