Fanwood’s leaf pickup program is now underway. Please follow these procedures:

  • Leaves must be at the curb for pick up.
  • Gum balls are permitted to be included in leaf piles, but leaf piles containing branches or other material will not be picked up.
  • Bagged leaves must be removed from the bags prior to placement at the curb.
  • Do not park your vehicles within 20 feet of the leaf piles.
  • Leaves for the final pickup must be at the curb by December 12th, 7:00 a.m. Leaves accumulated after the December 12 deadline are to be stored on the resident’s property in order to prepare the streets for effective plowing during winter storms.
  • Basketball hoops (portable or stationary) are NOT permitted within the Borough right-of-way, including grass area near curb, per ordinance 259-25.C. These items prohibit Public Works from effectively plowing the streets curb to curb. In addition, these units obstruct access to the brush and leaf piles during the annual pickup program(s).
