The Village is reminding residents and landscape companies operating in Oak Park that the use of gas-powered leaf blowers is prohibited from June through September. The community is also less than one year away from a permanent ban of the use of gas-powered leaf blowers that will go into effect June 1, 2025. Currently, gas-powered leaf blowers may be operated only between October 1 and May 31. Electric leaf blowers may be used year-round. The operation of all leaf blower equipment is allowed Monday-Friday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. All leaf blowers must operate below 65 dB.
