2011 Leaf Collection Schedule
The City of Lakewood will begin collecting loose leaves on Monday, November 7, 2011 and will continue until approximately December 16, 2011 weather permitting. Prior to November 7 and after December 16, leaves will be collected only when they are placed in paper yard/leaf bags and set out along with your regular refuse and recycling.
Due to the excessive amount of leaves on Clifton Boulevard and Lake Avenue, these streets will be collected separately. Collection crews will start working at the east end of Clifton Boulevard and Lake Avenue and work west until completed. Collection pick-up for these streets is scheduled to begin on November 7 with additional pick-ups beginning November 22 and December 5.
There will be no collection on November 24 and November 25.
After crews have completed Clifton and Lake, they will collect leaves citywide starting from the west end and working east. The number of citywide collection trips will be weather dependent. Please place your leaves out as soon as possible to avoid missing your collection.
Pick-up dates are weather and equipment dependent.
UPDATE FOR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2011
The Fall Leaf Collection Season is now officially over. If residents have additional leaves, they should be placed in yard waste bags and set out on your regular trash collection day.

In order to make the leaf collection process as effective as possible, the City asks residents to please rake leaves onto tree lawns as close to the curb as possible. Raking leaves into the street will slow the collection process and may cause basement flooding.
If you have any questions, please call (216) 529-6810 between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
