• 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

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