The 2022 leaf collection program begins on Monday, November 7.
The Department of Public Works expects to be working in the following areas:
- Zone 1: In the vicinity of North Avenue and Dudley Avenue; in the vicinity of South Chestnut and Fourth Avenue
- Zone 6: In the vicinity of South Avenue and Scotch Plains Avenue
Collection Guidelines:
- Place leaves in narrow rows alongside the curb but leaving a space along the gutter to allow for drainage.
- Do not place leaves any closer than ten feet from any stormwater inlet.
- Do not place twigs, tree branches, pumpkins, grass, or other plant debris, including discarded mums, in the leaf pile. Note that the Town will not pick up leaves with mixed debris, as only leaves are accepted at the Union County compost facilities where the leaves are deposited.
- Before raking leaves to the street, check your daily Nixle alerts to determine in which areas the leaf collection crews are working.
- Whenever possible, do not park on the street when the collection crews are in your zone.
