Public Notice: Leaf Raking

Correct Raking Picture

As the leaves begin to change color and fall, the Village of Lake Odessa would like to remind property owners and residents that when leaves fall in mass quantities (after the full color change) residents are allowed to rake only leaves to the curb area and not into the street. The DPW crew will then vacuum them.  PLEASE, do not mix other debris with the leaves as it plugs the machine, and may cause damage.  All other yard waste must still be bagged. The last day for leaf removal by vacuum is November 26, 2025. Please do not rake leaves to the curb after 7:00 am November 26th.  Leaves must be bagged after this time and date.  Rake early and often, as snowfall may cause leaf collection to end early.  Loose leaves will not be collected by vacuum after November 26th.
