Leaf & Snow Removal

Please don't include brush or limbs that foul the vacuum

Pile of Leaves

Leaves piled within 6 feet of the edge of a road or walkway are vacuumed up by a Contractor. If you feel that a particular pile has been ignored for an inordinate amount of time...

  • Winter Bulk Pickup
    (8 weeks approx; November & December)
  • Spring Service Pickup
    (1-2 weeks; typically the last 2 weeks of March);

Leaf pickup to began on or about November 1st. New and long-time residents alike are reminded that the Town contracts for the removal of leaves in bulk each autumn. The Contractor will make regular but unscheduled pickups of leaves raked or blown into windrows within six feet of any walkway or roadway, excluding Railroad Street, 2nd Ave., 3rd Ave., 4th Ave., 5th Ave., and Boundary Street. This service will continue through year end, or as soon thereafter as we agree that the work is complete.

This is your opportunity to have leaves removed without the additional work and expense of bagging. Please place your windrows with an eye towards traffic visibility and flow, and don't include brush or limbs that foul the vacuum.

Plans Reviewed

Please remember that shoveling the sidewalk on Washington Grove Lane is the responsibility of the residents along that road.

When the Town has a snowfall in excess of six inches, that is unlikely to melt within a reasonable period of time, the following measures will be taken:

  • The Town's snow contractor will be asked to plow the parking area across from McCathran Hall, a strip along Chestnut Road near the Hall, and the parking spot adjacent to the Town Office.
  • The Town's maintenance staff will be asked to shovel paths around the Town Hall and to carve notches through snow banks, providing access to heavily used walkways.
