LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
Time to get out the rakes and bag the leaves. The town has announced the official schedule for collecting leaves. The curbside collection of leaves will take place on your regular scheduled trash and recycling days on October 18, November 1, November 29 and December 6. There are 3 simple rules:
- No plastic bags will be collected or emptied.
- The limit per household is ten (10) paper bags or barrels.
- This is a leaves-only collection. Bags or barrels containing brush or other material will not be collected. This type of material affects the quality of the compost generated from leaves.
The Town notes that "Planning in advance for this service is difficult as its timing and success depend on the cooperation of Mother Nature and weather conditions."
