Don't Leave Your Leaves In Street, Because Storm Nicole Is Coming: Millburn
Leaves could clog storm drains. With Storm Nicole coming, the town of Millburn asked residents to put their leaves in a different place.
MILLBURN, NJ — With Subtropical Storm Nicole predicted to bring up to 1.75 inches of rain Friday (see the storm track map and local forecast here), the town of Millburn is asking residents not to put their leaves in the street for collection on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
Storms can clog storm drains, they noted.
"Leaves should instead be placed on the lawn behind the curb," the town said in a message. "If you see a DPW leaf crew in the coming days, do not be alarmed. The leaf collection schedule is still being followed, however, crews are also picking up leaves in certain areas to help reduce localized flooding and keep storm drains clear."
