The City of Findlay will be picking up leaves from November 18 through December 6, 2019. Leaves must be bagged in biodegradable paper bags, and placed at the curb. Plastic bags and loose leaves will not be picked up. Biodegradable bags can be found at local hardware, building supply, and some grocery stores.
Information from the City regarding leaves and green waste:
Raking leaves into the street has many negative aspects. Leaf piles in the street can be a dangerous temptation to children who like to play in the piles and in many areas reduce the traffic to one lane or cause drivers to drive around the piles into oncoming traffic. Piled leaves tend to wash into and clog storm sewers, causing maintenance issues and potential localized flooding during storm events. Residents who blow or rake leaves onto City streets are in violation of long standing City Codified Ordinance 311.01(d). Complaints should be forwarded to the Police Department.
City residents may continue to drop leaves at the green waste site located at 330 North Cory Street at no charge. Hours for the site beginning November 5, 2019, are Tuesday through Friday 1pm-6pm and Saturday 8am-1pm, beginning November 16, Saturday hours will be 8am-4pm; closed Sunday, Monday. The green waste site will be closed on November 28, 2019, for Thanksgiving. It will be open on November 29 and 30, 2019. The green waste site will close for the season on December 7, 2019.
The green waste site is intended for residential use only. No contractors are permitted to use this site. Only tree trimmings, brush, leaves, and grass clippings can be dumped in designated areas at the site.
