Leaves should be placed in biodegradable bags. Residents are reminded that leaf collection with the Leaf Vac is meant for the right of way, not entire yards.

It was noted that the curb-side cleanup is not to be utilized by contractors.

In addition, no dumping will be permitted at the borough garage on Power Avenue. Residents, however, may use the compost site on 21^st Street. Compost is available to local residents.

The borough reminds that it offers residential curb-side recycling for aluminum cans, bimetallic cans and most clear, green and brown glass.  Pickup is scheduled for the first and third Tuesday of the month.

Commercial establishments, located within the borough, are independently required to recycle items as set forth by the recycling ordinance. A copy of the ordinance may be obtained at the administrative office.

There will be no Christmas tree pickup.
