MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The Maplewood Department of Public Works is currently collecting leaf piles on township streets.
Weather and equipment failures may cause a delay in the collection schedule. Delays should not be more than one or two days. If the township gets ahead of schedule, they may come through your section early, but will also be back during your scheduled week.
No leaves shall be put in the street more than seven days prior to your scheduled week. No leaves shall be put in the street after the Sunday of your final collection week. No plastic bags or branches may be mixed with the leaves. Leaves will not be collected if there is evidence of plastic bags, branches or other waste items.
Leaves will be collected during the week of Oct. 23 in sections 1, 2, 3 and 4; the week of Oct. 30 in sections 5, 6, 1 and 2; the week of Nov. 6 in sections 3, 4, 5 and 6; the weeks of Nov. 13 in sections 1, 2, 3 and 4; the week of Nov. 20 in sections 5, 6 and 1; the week of Nov. 27 in sections 2, 3 and 4; the weeks of Dec. 4 in sections 5, 6 and 1; and the week of Dec. 11 in sections 2, 3 and 4.

Disposal of leaves is permitted at the Public Works yard for the duration of one week after the last scheduled collection has taken place; after this period, no leaves will be accepted at the Public Works facility.
