The Kingston Township Board of Supervisors has announced the Spring Yard Waste/Bagged Leaf Pickup has been scheduled for April 18-22, weather permitting.

Residents are advised to have yard waste and bagged leaves placed at the curbside for pick up. Yard waste consists of sticks and twigs bundled three feet in length and one foot in height and one foot wide. There is a limit of two bundles. Large limbs will not be accepted. Residents are reminded that bags must contain only leaves and no grass clippings.

Township crews will conduct the pickup between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Ttwnship asks the cooperation of residents in refraining from sweeping leaves into gutters and roadways. The leaves block storm drains and pose a serious maintenance problem for the public works department. A township ordinance also prohibits this practice. Residents are also reminded that Ordinance 2004-4 prohibits the burning of leaves.

Residents may also drop off leaves without bags and yard waste at the composting site located behind the public works facility.

Questions about the yard waste and bagged leaf pick-up should be directed to the township administrative office at 696-3809 or the public works department at 696-3650.
