South Brunswick Leaf Pickup Schedule Fall 2016

It's leaf-raking season! Here is when the Township will be on your street to pick up leaves.

South Brunswick, NJ - It's leaf-raking season! Here is the South Brunswick Township Leaf Collection schedule for fall 2016. The Township expects to have leaf crews in each of four collection areas three times during the leaf season. Here is when they will be in your neighborhood:

(The collection schedule listed below is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Every effort will be made to maintain this schedule.) Simply rake your leaves to the curb and the Township will come pick them up; do not put them in bags, the Township says. "NO BAGS!!," joked Bill Epps, South Brunswick's Recycling/Clean Communities Coordinator.

Leaves must be raked by 7:30 a.m. the first date in the collection round for pick up during that round. By LAW leaves may not be put out more than 7 days before the scheduled pick up and cannot be placed within 10 feet of a catch basin.
