The town will begin its annual leaf collection on Monday, Oct. 19. Leaf collection will continue through late February. Residents may place loose leaves and pine straw that are free of limbs and debris at the curb. Leaf piles should not block roadways, bike lanes, sidewalks, fire hydrants, water meters, mail boxes, storm drains or utility boxes or interfere with sight distances at intersections.
Another option is to place leaves in 30-gallon brown-paper yard-waste bags (no plastic) or yard-waste roll carts or other rigid containers used for year-round curbside collection.
