    Leaf Collection

    The Department of Public Works will be collecting leaves at the curb weekly throughout the borough using the vacuum method from October 16th through November 27th.   Please do not place leaves at the curb after Sunday November 26th. Once the vacuum crews have passed your house they will not return for the season.

    BAGGED LEAF COLLECTION will take place on two days in mid-December. Tuesday, December 5th and Tuesday, December 12th the DPW will pick up leaf bags placed at curbside. Residents are responsible for purchasing paper bags. Plastic bags will not be collected.

    Operating hours in the fall months are Monday - Friday, 8:00am to 11:45am and 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Wood is available and free for residents; no power tools are allowed at the mulch site.
