The city suggests residents rake leaves into the street one day before the scheduled pick-up day, according to the program website. Leaves should be no more than two feet from the curb or edge of the street. No vehicle should be parked on the street when crews begin working, and no vehicles should be parked on piles of leaves. Any vehicles left in the street can be towed or fined. To make leaf collection more efficient, the city also asks residents not to place branches and other debris in the street as crews will pick up leaf-only piles. Bags of leaves will not be picked up. To arrange a bag collection, call 311 for a sanitation bulk pickup. To learn more about the leaf removal program, visit the city of Akron website or call 311 or 330-375-2311.

The store features new items that have minor to moderate damage, discontinued and slightly used items. The Lowe's Outlet includes warranty options, with delivery, and haul-away options available, Snow said. Patrons with a Lowe's credit card can use the cards at the outlet store as well. However, those looking for a discounted appliance or other items must come to the store directly, Snow added. Online purchases are not available for the outlet store, and items can't be ordered to the outlet. Those services, Snow said, must be done through the regular Lowe's retail stores. "Every day we get new stuff," Snow said. The new Lowe's Outlet is at 330 Howe Ave. in Cuyahoga FallsAssumed Mayor Elect Shamus Malik Building CabinetWhile we haven't voted yet officially, Shammas Malik has begun accepting applications to be a part of his incoming administration.
