TROY — The city of Troy’s street department’s staff will begin Troy’s annual leaf pick-up program on Monday, Oct. 16.
City crews plan to make a total of three leaf collection rounds through the city. A map showing anticipated pickup dates by address is available at the city website at www.troyohio.gov/leaf-map.
To help provide efficient collection, the city asks that residents:
• Keep leaf piles free of routine yard waste, trash, and rocks.
• Rake leaves to the street one foot out from the curb. Leaving this space between the curb and the leaves will allow drainage of rainwater. Do not block catch basins with piles of leaves.
• Do not place leaf piles around or between parked cars.
Residents can take their leaves directly to the Dye Mill Road facility in yard waste bags made of compostable paper. The facility will remain open through Saturday, Nov. 25. Residents can also place leaves in an approved yard waste bag curbside on their regular trash collection day.
Crews have been picking up leaves on an unscheduled basis. As in the past, the leaf pick-up will be by zones. The description of the zones and dates for each are as follows:
• Zone 1: The area bound on the east by the Corporation line and Ridge Avenue, on the north and west by the Corporation line and on the south by West Main Street, south on I-75 and the Corporation line. Pick-up scheduled for Monday, Oct. 16 through Friday, Oct. 20.
