Leaf Collection Resumes In Abington Township

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA —The township is clearing leaves, with three more weeks of leaf collection planned this month.

Township officials said this week that leaf collection is taking place the week of Dec. 2 in the areas of C, D, F, and J.

Leaves should be placed curbside by each Monday of the designated week of pickup.

Abington Township has an annual Leaf Collection Program. The township is divided into 15 leaf areas labeled "A" through "O."

This year, 024, each, area will receive three vacuum collections.

Residents must have their leaves curbside on the Monday of the scheduled week of pickup, as the leaf truck will pass by only once during that week. Once the leaf machine passes it will not return until the 2nd scheduled collection.

For any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 267-536-1037.

Additional Information regarding leaf collection:

• Do not blow leaves into the way of traffic.
• Try to create piles at the edge of your property and if possible, not in the street, in an effort to keep the roadway and storm drains clear of debris.
• Wet leaves in the road may create a slippery surface and therefore a traffic hazard.
• Do not mix trash or other debris with leaves, grass clippings or brush. Non vegetative debris does not decompose and interferes with the composting process therefore making for an inferior product.
