The first pass for leaf collection in Quadrant # 1 and #3 was completed at the end of last week. The DPW is currently picking up leaves in both Quadrant # 4 and Quadrant # 2. The goal is to complete at least one leaf pickup in all four Quadrants by Wednesday December 21st.
Residents, and their landscapers, are again asked 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 on Thursday December 15th and Friday December 16th to allow for DPW personnel to concentrate on Leaf and branch cleanup.
The 15th and 16th will be the last time garbage pickup will be cancelled for leaf collection.
Recycling will be picked up on its normal schedule. Only garbage pickup is cancelled on the 15th and the 16th.
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 continues to thank all of our residents for their patience as we continue to work hard to clear the roads of leaves and branches.
