BID AWARDED FOR 2022 LEAF PICKUP

A & J Landscape Center, 8061 Sylvania Ave., has received the
contract to help Sylvania Township crews during this season’s leaf collection.

The firm submitted a bid of $515 per hour Rob Nash, superintendent of the township road and service department, told Sylvania Township trustees before they voted on the contract. It was the only company to submit a bid. 

Mr. Nash said A & J also was awarded the contract last year with a bid of $500 per hour.

He said township personnel and equipment are used for the majority of leaf collection, but the department must call on a private contractor when there is an instance where a heavy leaf drop stretches township assets thin.

Leaf collection this year is scheduled to begin on October 17.  The department intends to make three cycles through the township picking up leaves.
