Press release
The Galion Service Department began leaf collection this week. Residents may rake leaves into the devil’s strip in front of their homes to be picked up by the city. They should avoid putting leaves out in the road or over drainage gutters. The city is requesting that they do not include branches, wood chips or other yard waste materials, as this may damage the equipment.
Yard waste not collected by the city may be taken to the Taylor Road Composting Facility on Nov. 18 and 19, from 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. each day. This is the last time the facility will be open this year.
Crews go through one quadrant of the city at a time to collect leaves. They try to hit each quadrant every 7-10 days depending on manpower.
Quadrant 1 – north of Harding Way, west of Market Street
Quadrant 2 – north of Harding Way, east of Market Street
Quadrant 3 – south of Harding Way, east of Market Street
Quadrant 4 – south of Harding Way, west of Market Street
