2024 Leaf Collection
Annual leaf collection starts Monday October 28, 2024. Residents must
not place leaves at the curb until this time. Leaves left at the curb
for an extended period of time are difficult to vacuum and slow down the
collection process. Please keep your leaves in your yard until the day
before they're scheduled for collection. This ensures that everyone's
leaves are collected in a timely manner. Thursday is a catch up day to
go back over any streets needing extra cleaning or that couldn't be
completed 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.
Please see the
2024 Collection Schedule here.
