Roseland Leaf Pickup Program

The Department of Public Works will commence leaf collection on all Borough owned streets beginning in October and ending in December. This typically allows for at least four (5) pickups on each street spaced out over the seven week period.  

The majority of leaves will be collected by a vacuum type machine and should be placed in the curb area of the road in front of your residence.  The Borough requests that residents take care not to include stones, brush, grass cuttings, or other debris in the leaf piles as such items cause damage to the equipment.  Leaves should not be placed over storm drains/catch basins.

For those residents living on COUNTY roads, the Borough has arranged to provide for free, twenty-four (24) large paper bags per year.  Additional bags are available and sold at cost for $.30 each and can be purchased at the Public Works Office, 300 Eagle Rock Avenue, Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.

Bagged leaves will be collected on each Tuesday through December  Residents are reminded that an appointment is necessary for collection.  Contact the Public Works Department at (973) 226-6565 anytime prior to 4:00pm on Mondays for Tuesday pickup. Please note the change in schedule in December due to the holiday and call by Friday, December 22, 2006 to schedule an appointment.

ONLY LEAVES IN THE PAPER RECYCLABLE BAGS WILL BE COLLECTED.

Also, any resident on a Borough owned road may purchase and use the bags if they prefer that method rather than raking their leaves into the curb area, but again an appointment is necessary.
