The Road Department’s annual leaf collection will begin on Monday, October 21st. The Road Department will begin making their weekly rounds starting in Brookside and working their way around the Township.
The Road Department asks residents to observe the following guidelines for a smooth and safe leaf season:
- Leaf piles must be less than six feet wide and placed at the edge of the road. Please do not place leaves in the road or curb and gutters.
- Leaves should not obstruct the roadway or any sewer drains or catch basins.
- All piles must be free of branches, dirt, flowers, and mulch. Piles with excessive branches and debris will not be picked up.
- Do not pile your leaves around trash bins, mailboxes, behind vehicles, fire hydrants, etc. Leaf piles must be six feet away from all obstructions in order for the machine to pick them up. Leaves piled too close to obstructions will not be picked up.
- Do not bag your leaves if you want them picked up by the Road Department. Bagged waste should be marked as yard waste for Rumpke to collect.
The route and regular updates will be available on the Road Department's page on the Township website: https://www.perrytwp.org/2277/Fall-Leaf-Collection
Leaf collection will end on Friday, December 5. If you have any questions, please contact Road Superintendent Ian Warren at 614-889-8781, or iwarren@perrytwp.org.
