Tennis/Pickleball Courts Closed for Season
The tennis/pickleball courts at Koenig Field are now closed for

unsafe play conditions due to seasonal weather impacts on surfaces as
well as to minimize damage to the courts. No more reservations will be
accepted at this time. Courts will reopen in the spring.

teams is partially dependent on coach availability and will be

Anyone who still wishes to sign up once we have reached capacity will be
wait-listed.
We will be resuming our draft this year. For those who have not
participated in this league, the draft takes place on a Saturday in mid

teams are evenly matched by skill level. The regular season begins in
early January. Practices will take place one weeknight evening each
week. Games are held Saturday mornings, according to Division.

Fall Leaf Collection
Annual leaf collection starts Monday October 30, 2023. Residents must
not place leaves at the curb until this time. Leaves left at the curb
for an extended period of time are very difficult to vacuum and slow
down the collection process since they soak up water and become
compacted from vehicle traffic. Help our public works department by
keeping your leaves in your yard until the day before they're scheduled
for collection. Doing so ensures that everyone's leaves are collected in
a timely manner. Thursday is a catch up day. Public works uses this day
to go back over any streets needing extra cleaning or that they couldn’t
complete earlier in the week.
Property owners that routinely place piles of leaves in the street
days before their scheduled collection day may be subject to enforcement
action for creating an unsafe condition. Collection delays and
cancellations will be posted on the borough marquis, phone system and
our Facebook page and website.
Important Change to Recycling
As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any
glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to
break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine
shards of glass. Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and
sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services
has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the
Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at
residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection
bins.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables,
without lids, to place in the bin.
