2020 Leaf Collection
The Department of Public Works will commence leaf collection on all Borough owned streets on Monday, October 26, 2020. Leaves will be collected through Friday, December 4, 2020 which should allow for at least five (5) pickups on each street spaced out over the six week period. Residents cannot put leaves in the curb area after December 4th.
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 and/or 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 for $.30 each and can be purchased at the Public Works Office, 300 Eagle Rock Avenue, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Bagged leaves will be collected each Wednesday beginning on October 21st with a final pickup on Wednesday, December 30, 2020.
NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED! ONLY LEAVES IN THE PAPER RECYCLABLE BAGS WILL BE COLLECTED. PLASTIC BAGS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!
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.
