2023 Fall Leaf Collection Map

Here are some guidelines to help our service department run more efficiently during leaf collection season:

• Do NOT put leaves in the street or near storm drains
• Leaves must be placed within 6 feet of the curb so the suction tubes can reach them. Stack leaves as high as possible to keep them in this area.
• Only leaves should be placed by the curb. Do NOT add sticks, branches, ornamental grasses, vegetables, vines, pumpkins, rocks, tarps, etc. to leaf piles
• Try to limit parking in the streets from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on weekdays. To avoid damage to vehciles, leaves will not be picked up if a car is parked in front of a home.
• Brown bagged leaves will be collected by Republic Services weekly through November 29th, 2023.
• Pick up is continuous throughout the City.
• End date is tentatively the first week of December

Leaf Collection updates will be posted on our website, our Parma Heights Facebook page, and ReadyNotify.
