loose Leaf Collection is Back

Back by popular demand, Dayton residents can now rake or blow leaves to the curb for pickup. Bagged leaves are no longer collected. Leaf collection begins Oct. 24, 2022, and continues through Jan. 9, 2023, with a minimum of two collections per neighborhood.

Please have all leaves raked or blown to the curb by 8 a.m. Monday of your scheduled pickup week.

Please do not rake ANYTHING except loose leaves to the curb for pickup. No bagged leaves will be accepted. Branches, sticks, grass, and other yard waste may damage machinery and delay leaf pick-up. Leaf piles containing tree branches or grass will not be collected.

Please keep leaves away from catch basin openings to avoid clogging the storm drainage system.

As an alternative, leaves may be taken to the Wagner Ford Green Landfill (loose or in biodegradable paper bags, no plastic bags, please). Clean yard waste (grass, branches, etc). may also be dropped at the Wagner Ford site.

Although all efforts will be made to adhere to the Neighborhood Rotation Schedule below, there may be unexpected delays in service or changes due to weather conditions. Please consult this page or social media channels for schedule updates. Residents are also encouraged to use the Dayton Collects app for updated scheduling notices, in addition to visiting this page or calling 937-333-4800
