Leaf Bag Collection

About the Program

The Township offers leaf bag collection two times a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

The Spring collection takes place the first two weeks in April. The Fall collection starts in mid-October and runs through the end of November.

The leaves collected are recycled into compost and are offered back to residents for FREE!

What Can I Put in the Bag?

- Dry leaves
- Small twigs
- Dead plants

Do NOT place sticks or branches in the bags. Bags should ONLY contain LEAVES.

Larger branches can be collected during Monthly Limb Collection.

Do I Need to Schedule a Collection?

NO - Leaf bags should be placed out with your weekly refuse during the Spring and Fall collection dates. Public Works will collect leaf bags throughout the entire Township. 

What Kind of Bag Can I Use?

Only brown paper recycling bags will be collected.
