Leaf collection set in North Brunswick

North Brunswick is now participating in its leaf recycling program.

Leaf bags are available at The Department of Public Works, 45 Quarry Lane, on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon through Dec. 15. Two bundles of bags will be distributed for each residential address; bring proof of residency to receive the bags.

Residents with trash collection on Tuesdays will have their leaves picked up the weeks of Nov. 12, Dec. 3 and Dec. 24; Thursday trash pick up will have leaf collections during the weeks of Nov. 19, Dec. 10 and Dec. 24; and Friday trash collection will have leaves picked up the weeks of Nov. 26, Dec. 17 and Dec. 24.

Leaves in biodegradable paper bags are deposited at a county facility, allowed to decompose and get turned into mulch, which becomes available to residents of Middlesex County free of charge. Leaf mulch is available, free of charge, on a first come, first served basis at the DPW.
