2022 Fall Leaf Collection- Final Round
The final round of the Leaf Collection program will begin on Monday, November 28th starting on streets West of Willard Avenue then continuing to all streets East of Willard Avenue. Leaves should currently be curbside to ensure the collection for the final pick up.
-Depending on weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances, crews may enter into a section ahead of schedule or remain in an area longer than anticipated, use the above schedule as a guideline only. Please keep in mind, an early snowfall hinders our collection efforts and residents are advised to rake leaves to the curb as soon as possible. We ask for our patience as we attempt to complete the leaf collection program in a timely and efficient manner.
-Residents may also bring leaves to the landfill/transfer station on Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Proof of residency required.
Leaf Collection Guidelines:
-Rake leaves to the front of your property (adjacent to the street) as soon as possible. Crews and collection schedules vary due to weather conditions.
-Do not block sidewalks or rake leaves into the street.
-Leaves in barrels, plastic bags, cardboard boxed or mixed with branches, sticks, household trash or any foreign matter will not be picked up.
-State law requires leaves to be collected separately from the trash. Do not put leaves in your rubbish or recycling containers as they will not be picked up.
-Residents may bring leaves to the landfill on Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 1st through December 31st (proof of residency required).
The success of the Leaf Collection program is greatly dependent on the weather. Your patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
