The City of Grove City residential leaf collection begins Monday, Oct. 18. The city is divided into four areas, each assigned two collection weeks through Friday, Dec. 16. Crews travel each street a minimum of one trip during the designated week.
Rake leaves to the curb by 7 a.m., Monday of the assigned collection week. Leaves should only be placed in the grassy area between the street and sidewalk or to the edge of the lawn for areas without a sidewalk. Leaves placed in the street can block storm sewers and create hazards for parking. Do not park vehicles in front or on top of leaves 7 a.m.-4 p.m. during collection weeks so workers can maneuver leaf collection machinery.
Leaves are accepted year round as part of regular trash pickup by Local Waste Services. Place leaves in yard waste bags/containers and place on the curb on your normal pickup day. A greener alternative is to mulch with your mower, which acts as a natural fertilizer.
