LEAF COLLECTION:

Leaves are collected from October to the week of December 11, weather permitting, throughout the Township as follows:
Monday          Southwest
Tuesday          Southeast
Wednesday    Northeast
Thursday       Northwest

These are the scheduled days; however, the Public Works crew tries to get ahead as much as possible, so you may see your pile being picked up ahead of schedule. Keep in mind, they will be around again on the scheduled pickup day as well. With that being said, please be vigilant with putting your leaves on the curb, as the crew will do everything possible to pick them up as soon as they are ready to be picked up.

Please be sure that there are no bags, sticks, or twigs in your pile as these materials will damage the Township equipment.

 

DUMPSTERS:

Dates and Hours: Wednesdays from 12 Noon to 6 PM and Saturdays from 6 AM to 12 Noon beginning March 15, 2023 through November 4, 2023.

As the dumpsters become busier, please be patient with the Public Works employees as they may be asking to see identification more frequently. With the inflow of persons, it becomes harder to remember if we have asked to see your ID recently, so you may be asked every time your visit the facility. Please be patient and courteous to the staff. We are trying to make sure these facilities are not abused by others outside of the Township, as this is a resident paid service.
