Here is the guide to leaf pickup in Ross County: Ross County leaf pickup dates and rules for fall 2026, plus local leaf cleanup services with phone numbers. In Chillicothe, the only city program in the county, collection follows your regular trash route.

City pickup in Chillicothe

Chillicothe runs the only city leaf collection in the county, and it follows your regular trash route. The Monday and Thursday routes were collected Nov. 2 to 6. The Tuesday and Friday routes run Nov. 9 to 13. The Wednesday route closes out the season Nov. 16 to 20.

Rake your leaves loose to the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the street, or to the edge of your yard. Do not pile leaves in the street or on the sidewalk, and do not mix branches or other yard waste in with them. Keep cars clear of the piles, because a blocked pile may not get picked up.

Drop-off and bagged pickup

The city yard waste site off Renick Avenue is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon and takes yard waste, including branches and grass clippings.

All year, Chillicothe residents can also schedule a curbside yard waste pickup. Leaves and clippings go in brown biodegradable bags, and branches must be bundled no longer than four feet. Call 740-773-9715 to schedule.

No leaf pickup programs were found this fall in Bainbridge, Frankfort or Kingston.
