When leaves drop in Cincinnati.
Leaves in Cincinnati come down end of October into early November. Southern Ohio peaks last in the state. The hillside oaks in Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout usually finish dropping around Thanksgiving.
The average first measurable snow in Cincinnati is November 28 (1981 to 2010 average, NWS Wilmington). The crew needs the leaves off the lot and hauled before that date. Leaves under the first snow pack into a wet mat that smothers the lawn until spring and blocks the storm drains on your street.
Cincinnati hillside lots in Hyde Park, Clifton and Mt. Washington send leaves down into beds and retaining walls. Crews rake out the terraces as well as the lawn, then haul the lot. No biweekly cart cycle to wait on.

Cincinnati leaf pickup rules.
Cincinnati collects yard waste every other week on recycling day from April into mid January. Leaves ride that schedule; there is no separate leaf program.
- Bags. Paper bags or a can clearly labeled Yard Waste, under 25 pounds. Loose leaves in lidded containers or closed bags so they do not blow.
- Schedule. Biweekly, April through mid January (the 2025-26 season ended January 16).
Source: City of Cincinnati Public Services, 2025-26 season. Check the city page before you set anything out; schedules move.
None of that applies to a Plowz booking. The crew bags, loads and hauls everything to a licensed yard-waste site the same visit, so the Cincinnati leaf pickup calendar does not set your cleanup date.

Leaf removal questions from Cincinnati homeowners.
How much does leaf removal cost in Cincinnati?
Leaf removal in Cincinnati is $95 for a small lot under a quarter acre, $145 for a quarter to half acre and $225 for a half to one acre. Hauling and disposal are in the price. Heavy debris adds $25 to $75 and bed edging starts at $35; both show in the booking flow before you confirm. The price is the same in October and December; only the open days change.
When should I book leaf removal in Cincinnati?
Book for the week after your trees finish dropping. In Cincinnati the drop runs end of October into early November, so the week after that is the sweet spot. The average first measurable snow is November 28, so the 3 weeks before it are the busiest; during that stretch most addresses book 3 to 7 days out.
Does Cincinnati pick up leaves at the curb?
Cincinnati collects yard waste every other week on recycling day from April into mid January. Leaves ride that schedule; there is no separate leaf program. Paper bags or a can clearly labeled Yard Waste, under 25 pounds. Loose leaves in lidded containers or closed bags so they do not blow. A Plowz crew hauls everything the same visit, so you can book any day, not just the city window.
Do I have to bag leaves for the Plowz crew in Cincinnati?
No. The crew brings the bags, fills them and takes them. You do not need to be home. If the back yard is locked, leave a gate code in the booking and the crew lets itself in and out.
What does a Plowz leaf removal in Cincinnati include?
The Cincinnati leaf cleanup service covers the full lot: front, back and sides cleared, beds raked out, driveway and walks blown off, sticks and small branches picked up, and everything hauled to a licensed yard-waste site. Gutter cleaning pairs with the same visit on request. Tree work is not included.
What if it rains or the leaves are wet in Cincinnati?
If it is raining at the scheduled start, the crew moves to the next dry day, usually within 48 hours, with no rescheduling fee. Damp leaves are fine and get bagged heavier. Standing water is the only thing that stops a route.
How do the photos work?
The crew takes up to 10 time-stamped photos: front, back, sides, beds and the loaded truck. They hit your phone before the crew leaves the street, and your card is charged after the photos land, not before.
