WEST ORANGE, NJ — Essex County has released its 2023 leaf collection schedule for several towns, including West Orange.

To organize leaf collection on its roads, Essex County is divided into four sectors. There will be three pickups in each section, according to a county news release.

Leaves should be swept to the curb or placed in biodegradable bags at the curb no more than seven days before the scheduled pickup time. In addition, residents are being asked to pile leaves at least 10 feet from a storm drain, officials said.

The following schedule lists the four sectors, the municipalities included in each section and the collection times when leaves will be picked up in each section:

• Section I: (Cedar Grove, Millburn and West Orange) - Monday, October 23 to Saturday, October 28; Monday, November 20 to Wednesday, November 22; and Monday, December 18 to Saturday, December 23
