Kettering residents in DISTRICT 5, get your rakes ready. The City of Kettering has announced that leaf collection crews will be working in your district come Wednesday, according to a social media post from the City of Kettering, Ohio - Government. As they continue to make their rounds, the city has urged the community to be proactive—make sure your leaves are by the curb and ready for pickup.
To avoid any potential hiccups, residents should move their vehicles away from the leaf piles. This ensures the collection crews can access and remove the leaves without obstructions; no branches or brush should be mixed in with the leaf piles, as this could disrupt the process. For those who prefer an alternative to curbside collection, the city offers three different disposal options. You can either haul your yard debris to the Yard Debris Drop-Off Center, place it in your regular trash tote, or take it to the Montgomery County Solid Waste Facility.
Collection efforts will not cease with DISTRICT 5. The city's crews will systematically advance through the remaining districts in numerical order. The final collection sweep is slated to begin December 1, as per the same announcement from the City of Kettering, Ohio - Government. Residents keen to ensure their leaves don't litter the landscape come winter are encouraged to act swiftly.
