Barnegat Sets Spring Leaf Curbside Pickup Schedule

Barnegat Township released its spring schedule Friday for curbside leaf pickup. Residents who put loose leaves on the curb outside of designated times will receive violations, the township said.

The township will only collect the leaves loose or in clear bags. Residents cannot put leaves on their curb more than seven days before their scheduled collection week. They also must be placed before 6:30 a.m. Monday of your designated week.

Here is the leaf pickup schedule, based off your designated trash/recycling route:

• Route 1: April 15-18
• Route 2: April 22-26
• Route 3: April 29-May 3
• Route 4: May 6-10
• Route 5: May 13-17

Residents may also bring leaf bags to the recycling center on 5 Lippencott Ave. Leaves are to be emptied into leaf bins, and residents must put empty leaf bags in the receptacle marked "bags." The recycling center is open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. It is closed during lunch and on holidays.
