Residents are advised to have leaves bagged and placed at the curbside for pickup. The pickup is limited to bagged leaves only. Township crews will be conduct- ing the pickup between the hours of 7 am. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Township asks the coop- eration of residents in refraining from sweeping leaves into gutters and roadways. The leaves block storm drains and this poses a serious maintenance problem for the Public Works Department. A Township Ordinance also prohib- its this practice. Residents are reminded that bags must contain leaves only, and that burning of leaves requires a Township Burn- ing Permit. Also, no burning of leaves in gutters along Township roadways will be permitted be- cause of the damage to the as- phalt or concrete. If anyone has questions about the Fall Leaf Pickup, please call the Township Administrative Of- fice at 696-3809 or the Public Works Department at 696-3650.
