DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Fall of 2011, the Township is continuing to offer two options for disposing of leaves. Residents may still put leaves to the curb for collection using the leaf vacuum (as in the past), but may also obtain recyclable bags to bag their leaves. Residents can pick up bags at Town Hall, free of charge, during regular business hours (M—F, 8:30am - 4:00pm) or may make an appointment to pick up the bags at another time by calling Town Hall.
Bagging leaves has several benefits to both the residents and the Township:
· Leaves in bags will not blow around during windy periods, therefore residents would not need to re-rake.
· Bagging leaves keeps the leaves out of the gutter/street, making the stormwater run-off more effective and making the streets more passable.
· Bagged leaves can be collected in any weather, unlike the leaf vacuum which only works on dry leaf piles.
Our hope is that residents will try this method, making leaf collection season go more smoothly for all.
DO NOT place the leaves in the gutter. If there are no curbs, rake the leaves to the end of the grass.
DO NOT include any branches, grass clippings, cans, bottles, or debris in the leaf piles. Foreign materials can cause damage to the equipment and injury to personnel. Leaves with twigs, branches, or other debris will not be collected and the homeowner will be responsible for disposal.
DO NOT place leaves within 10’ of any storm drain or fire hydrant.
DO NOT park vehicles over leaf piles. This not only makes it impossible to pick up the leaves, it is a significant fire hazard.
DO NOT place leaves curbside until one week before scheduled pickup. Leaves put out on or after your second collection date will not be collected. If leaves are not collected, a tag will be left for the homeowner with the reason.

BRANCHES - 10/29/2011 WINTER STORM - There is a tremendous amount of tree/branch debris as a result of this unexpected storm. Public Works is doing their best to tackle both the leaf collection schedule above and the chipping and removal of the tree debris. In order to make the process go more smoothly, it is imperative to keep the leaf and branch piles separated and that the guidelines for tree debris below are followed:
Tree limbs up to 6” in diameter should be left whole. Small branches should be bundled/tied with twine. Do not mix leaves in with the branches. Please keep debris away from fire hydrants. Place branches at the curbside, not in the gutter. If your branches were not collected, a tag will be left for the homeowner with the reason. If leaves/grass/debris is mixed in, the branches will not be collected and the homeowner will be responsible for disposal. At this time, we are NOT collecting BRUSH, only storm damaged tree and branch debris.
