Residents are advised to have leaves bagged and placed at the curbside for pickup. The pickup is limited to bagged leaves only. Bags must contain only leaves. Township crews will be conducting the pickup be- tween the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 . p.m., Monday through Friday. The Township asks the cooper- ation of residents in refraining from sweeping leaves into gut- ters and roadways. Leaves block storm drains and this pose a serious maintenance problem for the public works de- partment. A Township Ordi- nance also prohibits this prac- tice. Residents are also reminded that burning of leaves requires a township burning permit. No burning of leaves in gutters along township roadways will be permitted because of the damage to the asphalt or concrete. If anyone has questions about the fall leaf pickup, please call the township at 696-3809 or the public works department at 696- 3650.
