Here is the guide to leaf pickup in Scioto County: Scioto County leaf pickup dates and rules for fall 2026, plus local leaf cleanup services with phone numbers. In Portsmouth, the city crews are on their second pass of the season soon.

City pickup in Portsmouth

Portsmouth’s fall leaf pickup began Oct. 26, 2026. The city is divided into 15 collection zones, and every street gets covered twice over about six weeks. The first round runs Oct. 26 to Nov. 16, and the second round runs Nov. 17 to Dec. 9.

Keep your leaves separate from brush and other yard debris so the crews can take them. There is no pickup on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26 and 27, or on weekends. The city says the zone dates are tentative and can shift with the weather, equipment and the sheer volume of leaves.

Questions go to the Portsmouth Service Department at (740) 354-7766.

Portsmouth runs the only city leaf program we found in Scioto County this fall, and we could not confirm a city or county yard waste drop-off site.
