2013 Curbside Brush/Chipping and Leaf Collection Notice

Branch/chipping is a continual process each month beginning on the third Wednesday. The DPW requests that brush/chipping materials be placed curbside beginning the weekend prior to the third Wednesday of the month and not before. Remember, items over 8 inches in diameter cannot be chipped, and should not be placed at the curb.

Please keep raked leaf piles and any brush/chipping piles separate. DO NOT throw any limbs, branches, pavers, bricks, landscaping material or lumber into the leaf piles. December 2012, a foreign object was mixed in with the leaves and was sucked up, causing much damage to the leaf vacuum. This delayed the leaf collection process approximately one and half weeks. It was also very costly to have the repairs performed. If the DPW finds that your pile is mixed, they will skip over it and move onto the next resident. This rule will be strictly adhered to.

During the final leaf collection week (week of December 30th), understand that once the leaf pile in front of your house has been collected, do not replenish it. You might see other leaf piles throughout Cranbury but they will most likely be collected later as the DPW crew moves forward.

One last thought to consider before restocking leaves at the curb, residents will place luminaries along the sidewalks, curbs or streets on December 24th. The DPW is striving to get the streets cleared before this date and before Mother Nature hits us with any more rain, winds, or predicted snow. Your cooperation is truly appreciated.

The DPW apologizes for any delays in the collection of the piles in front of your house but truly appreciates your cooperation as the streets get cleared. If you have any questions please call 609-395-0900 x229.

Thank you.
