Akron has delayed its 2018 leaf pickup schedule by one week because of extended warmer weather and leaves falling later this year.

The printed leaf removal schedule included in October water bills shows the original dates and will now be postponed a week, the city said Friday. Residents may use any of the three annual free curb service bulk pickups for leaves if they choose to schedule for an earlier date. For early pick up, the leaves must be bagged.

Here are the new start dates for each ward:

• Ward 5: Nov. 5

• Ward 3: Nov. 7

• Ward 9: Nov. 9

• Ward 7: Nov. 14

• Ward 6: Nov. 17

• Ward 2: Nov. 21

• Ward 1: Nov. 27

• Ward 8: Nov. 30

• Ward 4: Dec. 7

• Ward 10: Dec. 12

Residents are asked not to rake leaves into the street until the day before scheduled leaf pickup. Each of the wards will take more than one day to complete.

Leaves must be on the street by the dates listed. The city will make one round through each ward, and the schedule is subject to change in the event of adverse weather conditions. After one round, leaf crews will work to fulfill as many additional pickup requests as possible before winter.
