Curbside vacuum bulk leaf collection will commence November 9th, 2009 and the entire town wide collection is scheduled to be completed on or about December 1st, 2009.

Crews will start in the southeast section of town, proceed northward through the eastern portion of town to the state line, then will proceed south ward through the western portion of town to completion. Each street will be collected only one time.

Please have leaves raked to the curbside prior to the start of your collection period. No provisions will be made for residents who fail to follow this procedure.
