Leaf Collection.
The 2024 leaf collection season begins on October 21. While routes are scheduled for collection each week, crews may also work ahead on upcoming routes when possible. To determine your route and date, please refer to the route descriptions below or visit the My Home web application and type your address in the search box. For additional information, please call the Streets Department at 513-785-7550 ext. 5.
The City will be using our text messaging tool to keep customers up to date during leaf collection this year. This tool can also send notices for power outages and provide real-time alerts for other services based on address. If you want to make sure you’re signed up for text notifications, click here.
To help City crews, please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Do not bag your leaves; bagged leaves will not be picked up by the City. Rumpke will pick up leaves bagged properly (contained in yard waste bags or trash cans clearly marked “Yard Waste” and weighing less than 50 pounds) in limited quantities, maximum of 6 cans or bags per week. Yard waste placed in plastic bags will not be picked up.
2. Make sure your leaves are not under, between, or around parked cars.
3. Do not put grass clippings, tree branches, or brush in with your leaves; they will not be picked up.
4. Rake your leaves out the weekend prior to the scheduled pick up.
Please note: Leaf pick up by City equipment creates a fine dust in the air, so plan to wash your car afterward.
Upon completion of all leaf collection routes, crews will perform spot collection throughout the City until collection trucks are needed for snow removal purposes.
