Leaves, Brush and Tree Trimmings

GRASS, LEAVES, BRUSH AND TREE TRIMMINGS

The disposal of leaves, brush and tree trimmings is handled by your township, which posts information on its website. These organic materials are mulched or composted, which keeps this material out of the landfill.

Please watch this 4 minute Brush and Leaf Video to learn how to properly prepare your items for collection.

Yard Waste in your trash:

Grass, leaves, brush, and tree cuttings cannot be mixed with your weekly garbage for collection as trash, nor can they be collected as "bulk waste." The only yard material permitted in your trash is "garden residue" such as weeds and stalks, and tree fruits (apples, acorns, pinecones) because these materials cannot be collected by the townships' equipment.

So, what can you do with your yard waste? You can grasscycle, leafcycle, and/or compost your yard waste.

How to handle your grass clippings: Grass clippings can be grasscycled or dropped off at several area locations. Go HER E to learn more.

Leafcycling: Leave those leaves on your lawn! Go here to learn more about this eco-friendly way to handle your Fall leaves, and to help your lawn at the same time.
