The DPW has completed it first sweep through the Borough to remove branches and brush from the October storm. It is now starting to remove debris that was placed at the curb after the DPW had made its original pickup.
Leaf collection is expected to be completed in Quadrant # 1 today. The DPW will begin leaf collection in Quadrant # 3 either this afternoon or Monday 5th. We expect to begin picking up leaves in Quadrant # 4 and Quadrant # 2 by the end of next week. The goal is to complete at least one leaf pickup in all four Quadrants by Friday, December 16th.
Residents, and their landscapers, are requested to get their leaves out to the curb before the DPW makes it first pass.
Regular Street Sweeping continues to be cancelled as the one driver has been re-assigned to a bucket loader to assist with the storm debris cleanup and the other driver, and street sweeper, is re-assigned to work with a leaf pickup crew. Normal Street Sweeping operations will not resume until the roadways have been cleared of both storm-related debris and leaves.
Garbage pickup will be cancelled again next Thursday & Friday, December 8th & 9th to allow for DPW personnel to concentrate on Leaf and branch cleanup.
Information on garbage collection cancellations will also be distributed via Nixle, Twitter and Reverse 911 calls. If you have not already signed up for NIXLE please go to www.NIXLE.com for information. If you are not following the Borough on Twitter, please consider doing so. Finally, please check our website frequently for additional updates.
The Borough wishes to thank all of our residents for their patience as we continue to work hard to clear the roads of leaves and branches.
