Full Notification

Due to this year's dry summer weather, leaves fell earlier than usual, which has resulted in significant volume in some areas of town prior to the usual early November timeframe to begin leaf collection. As a result, the Department of Public Works will begin leaf collection earlier.

During the week of October 20, collection will start in concentrated areas with the heaviest leaf volume, as follows:

• 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.
• Whenever possible, do not park on the street when the collection crews are in your zone.

Regular collection will begin on October 27, with new sequencing. This year, crews will begin in Zone 3 on the north side and in Zone 8 on the south side. Daily Nixle alerts will begin next week to notify residents of anticipated collection zones for the following day.
