Leaf collection has been completed in Quadrant # 1. Leaf collection is currently about 40% completed in Quadrant # 3, and leaf collection in Quadrant # 3 is expected to be completed by the end of this week. The DPW expects to begin picking up leaves both Quadrant # 4 and Quadrant # 2 by next Monday, December 12th. The goal is to complete at least one leaf pickup in all four Quadrants by Friday, December 16th.
Residents, and their landscapers, are again asked to get their leaves out to the curb before the DPW makes it first pass.
The DPW is continuing to remove branches and brush that was placed at the curb after the DPW had made its original pickup debris left in the wake of the October storm.
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.
Garbage pickup will be cancelled again this Thursday & Friday, December 8th & 9th to allow for DPW personnel to concentrate on Leaf and branch cleanup.
Recycling will be picked up on its normal schedule. Only garbage pickup is cancelled on the 15th & 16th.
Information on garbage collection cancellations will also be distributed via Nixle, Twitter and Reverse 911 calls. If you have not already signed up for NIXLE please go to www.NIXLE.com for information. If you are not following the Borough on Twitter, please consider doing so. Finally, please check our website frequently for additional updates.
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.
