Public works crews will collect more than 90,000 cubic yards of leaves left curbside during the fall. Residents are asked to adhere to the following regulations to keep the process smooth:
· Wait to rake leaves to the curb until the day before the posted pick-up date. Dates will be posted in each neighborhood approximately a week before collection is scheduled.
· Leaves should be raked to the curb, rather than in the street; storm drains should be kept free of leaves and debris.
· Leaf piles can only be collected if they’re free of branches.
· Avoid parking cars on streets scheduled for leaf collection, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. This is safer and will help prevent service interruptions.
· Landscaping services are not permitted to place leaves out for municipal collection. They can deposit leaves — at no cost — at the Kresson Road ecology site by scheduling a drop-off time through Public Works.
Residents may bag leaves as well. Free, 30-gallon recyclable paper lead bags are available for residents at the municipal clerk’s office, room 107, town hall and at the public works complex, 1 Perina Blvd.
