Tree Removal in Wadsworth, OH

Tree removal in Wadsworth, Ohio runs into a city brush program with firm size limits. Wadsworth had 24,007 residents at the 2020 census and sits on I-76, with State Routes 57, 94 and 261 running through it, about 11.6 miles southwest of Akron (Wikipedia: Wadsworth).

The City of Wadsworth collects tied brush and stickered yard waste, runs a fall leaf program through its Streets Department, and has its own Shade Tree Commission. None of those programs takes trunk wood or stumps from a full removal.

A request through this site goes to a local tree contractor working in Wadsworth for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding or storm cleanup, with hauling written into the quote.

What can't go out with Wadsworth yard waste?

The city won't take containers with dirt, sod or root balls, and the Transfer Station does not accept yard waste at all. Sticks and brush can't go in leaf piles either; the fall leaf crews, which start the week of October 26 in 2026, ask for loose leaves only.

That leaves trunk wood, big limbs and stumps from a removal with nowhere to go at the curb. A contractor's quote for tree removal or stump grinding should say whether wood and chips are hauled away.

Who decides on Wadsworth's street trees?

Wadsworth has a Shade Tree Commission that meets at City Hall, 120 Maple Street and met there on October 27, 2026. In June 2022 the city told one resident that 44 trees on his street would be cut down because they were damaging sidewalks. Neighbors objected, and the trees were kept while the city looked at alternatives.

If a tree between your sidewalk and the street is the problem, ask the city before hiring anyone. Trees set back on your own lot are yours to prune or remove.

About Wadsworth, Ohio

The city's early history records that Benjamin Dean felled the first tree on March 1, 1814, when the Dean and Durham families arrived from Vermont. The town is named for General Elijah Wadsworth, who owned much of the land that became Medina County but lived in Canfield; it became a village in 1876 and a city in 1931.

Strike-anywhere Blue Tip matches were made here until the 1980s, and the Blue Tip Festival keeps the name going. Laura Spelman Rockefeller was born in Wadsworth in 1839, and astronaut Michael J. Foreman graduated from Wadsworth High School in 1975.

Weather and climate in Wadsworth

Wadsworth is in the southern part of the county, nearer the Akron-Canton airport station than Cleveland's. Akron-Canton averages 47.2 inches of snow a season under the 1991 to 2020 normals, and Akron's climate is humid continental (Köppen Dfa) with January the coldest month (Wikipedia: Akron climate; NWS Cleveland: CAK snowfall).

That is less snow than northern Medina County gets, but freezing rain still coats limbs. The ISA lists ice loads alongside heavy snow among the ways storms snap branches.

Tree Removal questions from Wadsworth property owners

Where can Wadsworth residents take a large amount of brush?

Wadsworth's Transfer Station does not accept yard waste. The Medina County Solid Waste District facility on Lake Road in Seville takes branches and trunks cut to 4 feet or less and no more than 24 inches round, but not stumps or root balls. For a full tree, hauling by the contractor is usually simpler.

Is there a park with big trees in Wadsworth?

Holmesbrook Park on College Street, managed by the Medina County Park District, is the largest park in Wadsworth at 58.3 acres, with woods, streams and a pond. It shows what mature trees in town look like when left to grow.

Does Wadsworth pick up yard waste in winter?

Wadsworth collects yard waste from December through March only on the third Tuesday of each month, and only for addresses that call the Transfer Station at 330-335-2847 at least 24 hours ahead. Stickers are still required on containers.

Which Wadsworth ZIP codes can request tree work?

Wadsworth uses 44281 and 44282, and both are covered. Parts of Sharon Township and Wadsworth Township also carry 44281 addresses, so include your street address so the contractor knows whether city or township rules apply. Local numbers use area codes 330 and 234.

How much is a Wadsworth yard waste sticker?

Each yard waste container needs a $2 sticker, sold at the City Hall utility office, the Transfer Station, Discount Drug Mart and the Wadsworth Buehler's and Giant Eagle. Brush tied in bundles within the 4-foot by 2-foot limit is picked up free of charge.

What is the Wadsworth Shade Tree Commission?

Wadsworth has a Shade Tree Commission that meets in Council Chambers at City Hall, 120 Maple Street; one meeting was held on October 27, 2026. For a question about a tree between the sidewalk and the street, start with the city at 330-335-1521.

Why did Wadsworth plan to cut 44 street trees in 2022?

Cleveland 19 reported in June 2022 that the city notified a resident the trees on his street would come down because they were damaging sidewalks. Neighbors objected, a councilman said the city was weighing other options, and the trees were kept for the time being.

Can Western Star homes outside Wadsworth city limits request tree removal?

Western Star straddles Greenwich Road and South Medina Line Road, with its east side in Norton in Summit County and its west side in Wadsworth Township. Requests from either side are welcome; township addresses follow township rules for roadside trees instead of the city's.

Can sticks from trimming go in a Wadsworth leaf pile?

Wadsworth's leaf crews want loose leaves only, with no sticks, brush, roots or ornamental grasses, because those clog the machines. Bundle trimming debris for yard waste pickup instead, or have the contractor chip it on site after pruning.

What should owners next to a Wadsworth park know before removing a tree?

Trees inside Memorial Park and Holmesbrook Park are public, managed by the city and the Medina County Park District. If your lot borders either one, find the property line first, since Ohio law makes recklessly cutting someone else's tree a triple-damages matter.
