“Before and after these dates, leaves must be bagged and called in for regular Monday pickups,” stated a town press release.

From Nov. 4-9, the vacuum trucks route will do spot pickup. “The whole town should be covered during the spot pickup period. [From] Nov.10–18, area one will be the focus of pickup. Area two will be Nov. 19–25 and area three is Nov. 30–Dec. 8. Dec. 9–22 will consist of spot pickup to cover town as needed,” the release stated.

Leaves must be out by 7:30 a.m. on the first scheduled day of your collection week.
