Residents are reminded that they must have their leaves curbside by 7:00 AM on Monday April 18.

 There will be no call backs for leaves placed out after April 18.

Leaf piles should be placed so they do not block storm drains. Please ensure that the leaf piles are free of any stones or other debris that may cause injury to employees or damage to the machinery. Grass clippings and sticks will not be picked up by Borough crews and will be left curbside for residents to dispose of correctly.
