All leaves will be recycled at the Organic <br /> Resources Facility, keeping them from our landfill and generating organic mulch for spring <br /> planting. <br /> As always, leftover leaves may be bagged for curbside pickup by the Division of Solid <br /> Waste. Bagged leaves will be picked up on the regularly scheduled trash collection day. Please <br /> note that beginning Thursday,December 7, curbside pickup will continue throughout the winter, <br /> however residents must call in for pickup.
