FALL 2023/WINTER 2024
LEAF COLLECTION – UPDATE #2
- Christmas Tree Pickup
- Bagged Leaf Pickup
- Free Leaf bags
Dear Resident,
Piled, curbside leaf collection is complete for 2023. Read more about how we determine the leaf collection schedule HERE.
- Bagged Leaf Collection: Bagged leaf collection is currently underway and an additional bagged leaf collection will be held in January, 2024 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).
- Leaves must be in bags, curbside, not in the street, by 7am the first day of your zone collection but not more than one week prior. Once DPW collects your street’s leaves, they will not return and the leaves must be removed by a private contractor or brought to the recycling center.
- Christmas Tree Collection – Christmas Trees will be collected in all zones the weeks of January 8 and 15. Trees should be placed curbside (on your property, not in the street) by 7am the first collection day. The tree should be free of decorations, but tinsel may remain.
- 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.
- Weather Permitting – Please note that any curbside collection may be cancelled or postponed at any time by order of the Office of Emergency Management (OEM). As we enter into the winter months and a greater chance of inclement weather, staying informed is key. Collection details, dates and many other recycling questions can be found in the annual Town Recycling Calendar posted on the Township homepage and linked below:

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 www.marlboro-nj.gov and look for ‘Landscaper Registration’ under ‘Quick Links & Actions’.
By working together we can keep Marlboro streets clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation.
