We are getting close to that time of year again where the town highway department will pick-up your leaves and brush. The upcoming times include the weeks of April 6 & 20, May 4 & 18. The leaves and brush should be placed at the edge of the property in large paper bags, boxes, or cans (nothing in plastic bags will be picked up). Larger piles will be noted and slated for later pickup with grapple equipment. The Highway Department does not pick up grass clippings. Brush piles should be no greater than five feet in length, six inches in diameter, with no metal or other materials attached to it, and placed out in separate piles. The Highway Department does not offer any special pickups. Please do not put yard waste in the road; it is hazardous and illegal!
