Said town officials, "Please ensure your leaves are placed curbside and ready for collection before before crews arrive. Proper placement helps us work safely and efficiently."

Important Reminders:

• Each street will receive one scheduled curbside collection
• Keep storm drains clear of cleaves to prevent localized flooding.
• Do not block the curb with parked vehicles. If the crew cannot access your leaves, they cannot be collected, and crews will not return.
• Collection progress depends on weather and workload, so exact dates for individual streets are unavailable.
• The Town website is updated daily with progress reports.
