Leaf Collection Begins Monday, October 21

Leaf collection is sectioned off into three parts, one for the north, central, and south sides of the City. We will update this page daily with collection schedules!

• North: Meadow Park headed East
• Middle: Westland headed East
• South: Sheridan headed East

Below are a few simple guidelines to follow to ensure leaves are picked up in a timely and efficient manner:

• Rake leaves to the back of the curb but not in the street. If possible, please avoid placing leaf piles near mailboxes, trees, lights or signs.
• Please keep leaves out of storm water sewers and stream banks. Leaves cause bacteria that depletes oxygen and can kill fish and other stream organisms.
• Leaves can also be collected during scheduled yard waste collection dates if they are placed in paper yard waste bags or in a container marked "yard waste"

Bexley Public Library, Now A Designated Safe Place

Our Bexley Public Library is now a designated Safe Place in the central Ohio community! The building will display the yellow and black Safe Place sign, which signifies immediate help and safety for youth.

The Safe Place program is an option for young people who feel they have nowhere to turn. Columbus’ Safe Place initiative, operated by Huckleberry House, is part of a national network of Safe Place programs in 37 states and the District of Columbia. 

Ben Heckman, Bexley Public Library Director, notes, “Our team works to provide kids access to information to help them navigate the issues they face every day. Providing homework help, answering research questions, and connecting kids with access to trusted resources in a crisis situation are all ways we meet the needs of our young community members. Serving as a Safe Place feels like a natural fit for the library.”
