Leaf Collection Guidelines:

The leaf collection program operates during the months of November and December and consists of 24 full and part time employees including Parks and Grounds personnel.

  • Over 14,000 cubic yards of leaves are collected and processed each year.
  • Leaves are collected curbside on all Town roads, then transported to the Town Landfill for processing.

General Information:

  • The Town will make at least two passes thru each street (weather permitting).
  • Rake leaves to the front of your property (adjacent to the street) as soon as possible. Crews and collection schedules vary due to weather conditions
  • Do not block sidewalks or rake leaves into the street
  • Help us by keeping leaf piles free of brush, refuse, rocks and other foreign matter
  • Leaves in barrels, plastic bags or cardboard boxes will not be picked up
  • State law requires leaves to be collected separately from the trash. Do not put leaves in your rubbish containers as they will not be picked up
  • Residents may bring leaves to the landfill on Saturdays and Sundays- 9:00-5:00- April 1st thru December 31st 

The success of the Leaf Collection program is greatly dependent on the weather. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
