Guide to the 2026 Leaf Collection Program
All pickups start on Mondays and will continue through Friday. Leaves also can be taken to the Borough Lot Composting Facility during regularly scheduled hours
Residents are asked to rake their leaves to the curb. It is important that leaves are free of sticks, rocks, stumps, etc. to prevent damage to the leaf vacuum equipment.
Avoid placing leaves within 10 feet of a storm water catch basin. Keep inlet grates clear of leaves.
Avoid placing leaves within 15 feet of a vehicle. Also, do not park on leaves as this may start a fire.
Please note, the Borough requests that residents remain aware of the impacts that leaves can have on the Borough’s stormwater management system, waterways, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. Please refrain from piling leaves in the gutter prior to a scheduled rain event.
