Leaves and yard waste for town collection must be placed in either kraft paper, recyclable leaf bags or empty 32 gallon* garbage cans for collection on the day after recycling.

Bagged or contained leaves will be picked up curbside once every 2 weeks from Monday, April 4, 2016 until Monday, December 19, 2016, at which time the program will cease for the winter.

The leaf drop-off area at the Transfer Station on Watson Blvd will accept leaves from residents between the hours of 7:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday, and Saturday, 8:00 am to 12:00, except for holidays.

On occasion, heavy volume may cause a delay in some areas.

* Refuse or yard waste in 45 gallon cans will not be collected. The standard 32 gallon can is the maximum size accepted.
