UPDATE: Leaf Collection for Week of November 24 Due to the holiday and office closure on Thursday and Friday, November 24-26 will be used as make-up time for leaf collection and will not occur on the usual schedule. Weather permitting, leaf collection can continue on schedule the week of December 1.   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.

Starting in early September, the parking lot and grounds at the municipal building complex will undergo significant rehabilitation. The borough was awarded a $425,000 grant to replace storm sewers, replace sidewalks, add handicapped accessible parking and enhance pedestrian safety and access around the facility. Independent Enterprises, Inc. will undertake the work which is expected to last approximately two months. There will be limited access at times to the building so please pay attention to all temporary signage. Police and fire vehicles will be positioned around the facility to respond to emergencies so please use caution if you need to visit the facility. Please be advised that the glass recycling dumpster will not be available during this time. There is simply too much work occurring adjacent to where it is located to safely allow access. While the dumpster is unavailable, residents may take glass recycling to Construction Junction during normal business hours.
