CLEVELAND, OH — Fall is here, and the leaves are doing their part. Yet, across the city of Cleveland, there’s uncertainty. Cleveland residents aren’t sure the city is coming to collect their piles of leaves. That’s because last year the city abruptly canceled leaf collection at the start of November, after piles had already been raked to curbs. Mayor Justin Bibb faced so much backlash from residents he walked away from our questions.
“First, we were kind of shocked,” he said. “There’s a lot of trees on Martin Luther King and a lot of older residents.” But the city reversed course quickly, and Jones was glad to hear it. “That’s what we have to do more often when we have issues that are concerning the community is voice our opinion and share it in a good clear way, and it’s good to see that City Hall responds in a caring way.”
As for the city’s attitude in 2023: “From this point forward, we’ve got a solid program and we’re ready to serve the citizens of the city and we’re ready to give them all we have with this leaf program,” Laird said.
