2022 Leaf Collection

Leaf collection begins tentatively on Monday, October 31. For the schedule, please click here.

Please Note:

• This is LEAF Collection ONLY—Do Not Include Yard Waste.
• Please rake your LEAVES to the curb no sooner than the NIGHT BEFORE your pickup.
• DO NOT PLACE LEAVES IN THE STREET. They can block catch basins and be hazardous to motorists. PLEASE KEEP THEM ON THE CURB.  

Collection is weather dependent. Heavy rain or snow weighs down the leaves making them harder to vacuum. Additional time can be required if we experience several consecutive days of bad weather. Crews strive to collect each street on the posted day but that is not always possible.

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.
