The City of Mansfield has announced information concerning the 2016 Leaf Collection Program.

The same three (3) collection sites will be utilized as last year; Sterkel Park on Hollywood Lane, Liberty Park on Grace Street and the Service Complex at 480 Park Avenue East.

The Service Complex is now accepting leaves seven days a week, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The collection sites at Sterkel and Liberty Parks will open Friday October 21. Hours of operations are 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM Monday thru Friday.

All residents are encouraged to use the collection sites or to compost their leaves.

Residents are being told not to blow or rake leaves onto streets as this results in a violation of city ordinance 911.06(b). The city will allow most of the leaves to fall before it starts curb side service. Any questions should be directed to the City Service Complex Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM at 419-755-9803.

This program will begin on Monday, November 7. The City will have crews working daily Monday through Friday until it has completed the curb side collection., and will make a single pass to pick up leaves curb side and will attempt, weather permitting, to collect leaves missed during the single pass of the city but cannot guarantee this will occur. You are encouraged to either mulch leaves or take them to one of the collections site if you miss leaf collection on your street.

The leaf collection route is divided in to four (4) areas. Within the four areas they will be divided into zones that we use for snow plowing. We will be starting in area one and then continuing to area two, three, and four. We will be working with five (5) crews in the different areas and zones. The planned route is as follows.

Please refer to the City of Mansfield home page for a map and any detail updates.(http://www.ci.mansfield.oh.us/).

Once an area has been completed, it will be documented on the City of Mansfield home page under the 2016 Leaf program tab. The City of Mansfield would like to encourage residents to bag their leaves and bring them to one of the drop sites or compost them by mowing or other composting methods. Also, please when raking your leaves to the curb do not place them in the streets. This causes flooding of streets and other storm water problems and is a violation of city ordinance.
