Note: No paper or plastic bags will be picked up this year. All leaves must be picked up curbside. If leaves are left in bags they WILL NOT be picked up by the Department of Public Works. The Department of Environmental Protection considers both paper and plastic bags as solid waste, so it will be the homeowner’s responsibility to dispose of bagged leaves. The Borough can not accept bagged leaves at the Dewey Avenue recycling center due to DEP regulations. You may bring leaves to the Dewey Avenue recycling center in cans or bags but they MUST be emptied on-site.
