The Town will be collecting leaves beginning the week of Mon., Oct. 27th through Fri., Dec. 5th. There will be no scheduled collection zones again this season, as the Crew will monitor each street on a daily basis and collect leaves throughout the entire Town. This method worked very well last year.
Please rake your leaves to the curb, but not into the street, as this creates surface drainage issues and a possible fire hazard. Also, please refrain from parking your vehicles directly in front of or on top of the piles of leaves.

Please note that leaf piles should consist of leaves only! By including grass clippings, mulch, twigs, and small branches within the pile, this damages our vacuum and is the number one reason for delays in the collection cycle each year. If your pile of leaves contains anything besides leaves, your pile will not be collected and you will be responsible for bagging the leaves on your own.
For Residents that prefer to bag their own leaves, please only use lawn bags or containers clearly marked for yard-waste and place them to the curb by 7 am each Tuesday. Please do
not place leaves in trash bags.
