The Quarterly Zoning Resolution Street Map Staff Directory Comment Form Government Links E-mail Us Webmasters by Bill Johnson, Public Works Director The Washington Township Public Works Department will start its Leaf Collection on Monday, October 23. The first few weeks, providing weather is favorable, we should be on schedule. As leaves fall and volume increases, we may fall behind. However, we will be there to serve you. This season begins in October and lasts until approximately the second week of December.
Adverse weather can disrupt our schedule and cause delays.
Heavy rain will cause the vacuum equipment to fill up with water instead of leaves. This reduces truck capacity by half. Cold weather causes leaves to freeze in piles which must be broken up manually, and is time consuming. Such items damage the vacuum equipment. DO NOT bag your leaves, as the equipment cannot take the bags.
