The Township will begin leaf collection in October and continue until the end of November. Leaf collection is one of Public Works largest operations involving 20 employees, 14 trucks and many hours of overtime. 

It is the responsibility of the residents to protect their leaves along the street so that they do not blow throughout the neighborhood. Place leaves two feet from the curb so that they don’t interfere with the rain and storm sewers. Leaves will not be collected on private property. Park all vehicles 15’ away from where the leaves are piled. Collection crews will not pick up empty plastic bags or containers, branches, grass clippings, shrubbery, garbage or building material. These objects can cause extensive damage to the leaf collection equipment and will contaminate the leaves that we ultimately dispose of.

With the increasing number of maturing trees each year in various areas of the Township, it is impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location. If leaves are not in place when the crews go by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. The crews will not make any return trips. Leaf collection is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, and Township emergencies requiring Public Works personnel and equipment. Your area could be skipped at any time should these situations occur. Please be patient; your area will be collected.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Please follow these simple guidelines:

• Put your leaves out two feet from the curb so that they do not interfere with rain and storm sewers.
• Please do not park on or near leaf piles and always allow 15 feet from the ends of the leaf pile.
• Remember as the leaves come down the work load becomes greater, it takes a little longer to clean up and get around to all the areas, not to mention weather conditions and break downs.
