On Monday, October 19, the City of Troy street crews will commence the annual leaf collection program. City crews have been picking up leaves on an unscheduled basis. City crews plan to make a total of three leaf collection rounds through the City. A map showing anticipated pickup dates by address is available at the City website at www.troyohio.gov/leaf-map.
To help provide efficient collection, the City asks that residents:
- Keep leaf piles free of routine yard waste, trash, and rocks, as these items can damage collection equipment. Yard waste items can be placed for curbside pickup in paper yard waste bags or taken to the Dye Mill Road Facility through November 28.
- Rake leaves to the street one (1) foot out from the curb. Leaving this space between the curb and the leaves will allow drainage of rainwater. Do not block catch basins with piles of leaves. This can plug up/reduce the flow of rainwater, causing flooding issues.
- Do not place leaf piles around or between parked cars.
Residents can also take their leaves directly to the Dye Mill Road facility in yard waste bags made of compostable paper. The facility will remain open through Saturday, November 28. Residents can also place leaves in an approved yard waste bag curbside on their regular trash collection day.
