The Village of Ada expected to begin leaf pickup on Monday, October 25 but beautiful, warm weather has caused a delay in autumn leaf drop.

The Village will delay the service by one week. The start date will now be Monday, November 1 and will follow the remaining schedule as posted on the leaf collection notice.

If you have leaves coming down now, the Village crew will pick up bagged leaves before the start of November.
