The Moore Township leaf collection program will begin on or about the week of Oct. 28 and will continue for the next eight weeks, depending on conditions.

Actual collection will commence when enough leaves have fallen to warrant dispatching the collection equipment. There will be no specific pickup day for any one location. There will be multiple trips through neighborhoods for the duration of the collection program. Therefore, if the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation.

This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns and township emergencies making it necessary to temporarily delay pickup.

Leaves cannot be collected on private roads. They must be raked to the edge of the roadway but kept off the road itself. Leaf piles must be free of sticks and other foreign materials.

Residents are welcome to bring leaves and brush to the brush and leaf recycling area located to the east side of the public works building Monday through Saturday during daylight hours.

For more information, contact the township at 610-759-9449 or visit the website mooretownship.org/.
