Autumn Leaf Collection- City of Elyria
The City of Elyria's Fall 2019 Leaf Collection Program will take place from October 21 to December 7,
2019. Leaves should be raked to the curb in piles, but not in the street. No brush, twigs or other
materials should be mixed with the leaves, as these items may cause safety hazards and will clog the
vacuum equipment, slowing the collection process.
There is no set schedule for collection as weather conditions, equipment and personnel - fluctuate day
to day.
A special service will again be provided this year to senior citizens that are unable to rake their leaves
due to illness or physical disability.
Seniors citizens (65 years or older) (on a first come, first served basis- limited to first fifty) are eligible to
sign up for free raking service by calling the Mayor's Office Leaf Program Hotline at 440-326-1415 by
November 4,2019.
This service is being made possible through the generosity of student volunteers from Elyria High School,
Elyria Catholic High School and Open Door Christian School. Keenan Williams, Assistant Manager of the
City of Elyria Street Department has worked with the schools to coordinate the effort. The first fifty
seniors to sign up are eligible for the service.
Regardless of the weather, no leaves will be collected after December 7. Any leaves remaining on the
curb lawn must be bagged in brown bags only and left with the weekly trash pick-up.
Free brown compost bags are available at the Mayor's Office, the Public Utilities Office, orThe Elyria
Compost Center. City of Elyria leaf vac trucks will maintain a supply of brown bags as they travel
' throughout the neighborhoods.
Residents are encouraged to dispose of their leaves at The Elyria Compost Center, 45 Chestnut St.
Barnes Nursey manages The Elyria Compost Center. Details regarding the hours of operation and
services can be found on the city's website under at www.citvqfelvria.org (SANITATION DIVISION).
Leaves collected by crews are composted under EPA guidelines and not dumped into area landfills.
It's encouraged to remember these important safety tips:
o Do not allow children to play in the leaves near the street or curb
o Do not place branches or other debris in the leaf piles, because doing so, may result in the non -
collection of leaves
o Do not park vehicles on or near leaf piles
For additional information or questions, Call the Elyria Street Department 440-322-3129 or Safety
Service Director office at 440-326-1404.
