Fall 2010 Leaf Pickup
Leaf pickup starts Monday, October 18 and runs through November 26 unless there's a significant snowfall. If conditions allow, we may run ahead of this schedule and be able to make an additional leaf collection pass through the town.
This will be a leaf pickup only. No brush, tires or metal will be picked up. Leaves must be raked to the edge of the road with no sticks or other debris in the piles. They will not be picked up! Also, please avoid piling leaves in ditches. The vacuum machines cannot access leaves placed in ditches. If you have any questions about where to place your leaves, please call the Highway Department (279–3461 ext 117) for advice. This is a labor-intensive job in a short season so it is important that we expedite this program as fast as possible.
If you are planning to use bags, they must be biodegradable paper bags only. No sticks, dirt or other debris should be placed in the bags. They are for leaves only.
After the regular pickup schedule has been completed, or in the event of an early snowstorm prior to completion of the regular pickup, you must place the remainder of your leaves in biodegradable paper bags. The vacuum machines do not function with wet leaves.
Please note - the leaf pickup was designed for residents who live in areas that do not have a place to dispose of their leaves. Due to the short season for leaf pickup, we encourage residents that are able to dispose of their own leaves to please do so. This helps us to complete the town-wide program before inclement weather occurs.
Thank you for your cooperation with this program.
