The DPW has now completed the first round of leaf pickup in approximately 85% of the Borough. The remaining 15% in Quadrant # 4 and Quadrant # 2 is expected to be completed before the end of the week.
In Quadrant #2 the DPW is will be working tomorrow through Friday in the following area(s); Williamson Road and the surrounding side streets, West Church Street to West Clinton Avenue between Prospect & Front.
In Quadrant # 4 the DPW is working tomorrow through Friday in the following area(s); New Bridge Rd. to West broad St, between Prospect & Woodbine, and West Clinton to West Broad St between Prospect and Front St.
The goal is to complete at least one leaf pickup in all four Quadrants by Friday December 23rd.
Residents, and their landscapers, are again asked to get their leaves out to the curb before the DPW makes it first pass. Do not place any branches into the street where the DPW has previously made its initial pickup.
Regular Street Sweeping continues to be 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.
Additional information on garbage collection cancellations will also be distributed via Nixle, Twitter and Reverse 911 calls.

The Borough continues to thank all of our residents for their patience as we continue to work hard to clear the roads of leaves and branches.
