Leaf collection beginning October 23, 2023 and continuing through November 21, 2023. Leaf collection will be done weekly, Monday through Wednesday, with Thursday being a make-up day in case of rain or other issues that prevent us from getting out on a regularly scheduled day. The Township will only visit each road once a week, so if you see them come through on a Monday, they will not be back on the road until the following week. Residents are asked to rake the leaves to the curb or gutter if they want the leaves collected. Only leaves at the curb will be collected. Please DO NOT place anything other than leaves at the curbside or gutter. ALSO, leaf collection WILL NOT occur along Route 222 for safety reasons.
