FALL 2024 LEAF COLLECTION – UPDATE #2
- Bagged Pickups to Begin
- FREE Leaf Bags Upon Request
Dear Resident,
Piled, curbside leaf collection is near completion. Bagged leaf collection will be held by zone in December and another in January, 2025 to coincide with the Christmas Tree collection. Bagged leaves must be placed in paper, biodegradable leaf bags. Residents can request leaf bags at no charge (see below).
- Bagged leaves must be curbside, not in the street, by 7am the first day of your zone collection. Once DPW collects your street’s leaves, they will not return and the leaves must be removed by a private contractor, brought to the recycling center or bagged for the next collection.
- Lawn Contractors - Every lawn contractor that does work in Marlboro must be registered with the Township. This helps us to ensure that contractors are following our regulations and schedule, keeping streets clean and not putting lawn debris from other towns at our curbs. Please tell your landscaper to visit marlboro-nj.gov and look for ‘Landscaper Registration’ under ‘Quick Links & Actions’.
- Leaf Bag Distribution – We are pleased to announce that each home can receive biodegradable, paper leaf bags at no cost. To claim your bags complete the on line SDL form and bring your emailed permit to the DPW Monday to Friday 7:00am to 2:30 pm.
- Stay Informed – As we enter into the winter months and a greater chance of inclement weather, staying informed is key. One of the other benefits of TBA leaf collection is that we can postpone a collection if winter weather is forecast. Please register for emails
- Collection details, dates and many other recycling questions can be found in the annual Town Recycling Calendar mailed to your home in January, posted on the Township homepage and linked below:
