Leaf Pick Up

Citizens are encouraged to mulch leaves or compost leaves when possible
Citizens are required to bag leaves and place the bags at the curb.
You must use biodegradable paper or corn starch bags. Bags will be available at local hardware stores.
Placing loose leaves in the street is a VIOLATION of City of Newark Ordinance and United States Environmental Protection Agency standards. If you place ANY of your yard waste in the street, you will be cited and fined according to City Code.
The City of Newark Street Department will drive around the entire area during the scheduled week.
Citizens may arrange for a special pick up of bagged leaves by calling the Newark Street Department at 740-670-7734. These pickups are generally scheduled on Fridays.

Snow Removal

When it snows, the City launches Phase I of a Snow Removal Plan in order to clear snow and ice from the highways, snow emergency routes, and priority streets used in public transportation. Once Phase I is complete, Phase II will commence in which the City will spread salt and calcium chloride, and plow secondary streets.

Snow accumulation exceeding 4 inches will constitute a Snow Emergency. Snow Emergencies will be announced on the City’s homepage, and through local radio stations, and newspapers. When a Snow Emergency is declared, Snow Emergency Streets enforcement will begin in which parked vehicles must be removed from the street. (Please see the Snow Emergency Streets Map below for impacted streets.)
