2025 Leaf Collection
Annual leaf collection starts Monday October 27, 2025. 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.
Rat and Rodent Prevention
Please consult this flyer for tips on identifying and preventing rats and rodents around your property. The borough does not bait or trap, please consult a professional extermination service to assess your needs. Download Tips for Rat and Rodent Prevention.
