Garbage pickup is being cancelled for this Thursday & Friday December 1st & 2nd. The DPW will use this time to continue leaf & branch pickup. It is anticipated that leaf collection will take until mid-December.
Leaf collection is currently progressing through Quadrant # 1. The DPW will be working southbound from the Quadrant # 1 to Quadrant # 3 (now through December 2nd), then across the railroad tracks to Quadrant # 4 and finish in Quadrant # 2 (December 5th through December 16th). DPW crews removing leaves will make their way through the Borough at least once before going back to an area already cleaned. Residents are requested to try and get their leaves out to the curb before the DPW makes it first pass.
Regular Street Sweeping has been temporarily cancelled as the one driver has been re-assigned to a bucket loader to assist with the storm debris cleanup and the other driver, and street sweeper, is re-assigned to work with a leaf pickup crew. Normal Street Sweeping operations will not resume until the roadways have been cleared of both storm-related debris and leaves.
The Borough wishes to thank all of our residents for their patience as we continue to work hard to clear the roads of branched and other debris and falling leaves.
Information on any additional garbage collection cancellations will be posted in separate press releases on our website, Nixle, Twitter and Reverse 911 calls. Please check our website frequently for additional updates.
