2017 Leaf Collection Schedule

Just found this on the town website.  Thank you to the DPW employee who told me it would be there. It was not in the Fall Leaflet, nor am I aware of an email blast having been sent out on this topic.

2017 LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULE

Week of 10/23/17 Section: 1,2,3,4
Week of 10/30/17 Section: 5,6,1,2
Week of 11/06/17 Section: 3,4,5,6
Week of 11/13/17 Section: 1,2,3,4
Week of 11/20/17 Section: 5,6,1
Week of 11/27/17 Section: 2,3,4
Week of 12/04/17 Section: 5,6,1
Week of 12/11/17 Section: 2,3,4
Beginning the week of October 16th, leaf piles will be collected in all
Sections until regular Sectional collections begin on October 23rd
.
Please note that weather and equipment failures may cause a delay in the
collection schedule. Delays should not be more than 1 or 2 days. If the
Township gets ahead of schedule, they may come through your section
early, but will also be back during your scheduled week.
No leaves shall be put in the street more than 7 days prior to your scheduled
week. No leaves shall be put in the street after the Sunday of your final
collection week. No plastic bags or branches may be mixed with the leaves.
Leaves will not be collected if there is evidence of plastic bags, branches, or
other waste items.
Please refer to the zone map to locate your section on the Public Works
website.

I too was disappointed to see that the schedule was not included in the Leaflet.

But pleased that the notice on the DPW site includes the information not to put branches, etc. in with the leaves.

Can someone post a link to the map showing the sections?  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find it and I know that they changed a year or two ago and I can't remember for sure which one I'm in now.

Here's the link to the page on the Town web site. The link to the section map is given on that page.

You are in section #2 which combines the old sections #3 and #4.

So they changed it again??  (I know I've been in 3 and 4 at various times in the past. But I guess it doesn't matter since 2,3,4 seem to be together on the schedule.)

THX!

thanks for posting this...on the "to do list"
