The Borough has contracted with EMI for leaf collection in 2018. There will be no change in the collection procedure. Leaves will be collected curbside during the weeks of November 5th, November 12th, November 19th and November 26th (The work schedule can change due to weather.) DO NOT mix grass clippings, garden waste, tree or shrub trimmings in with the leaves. Leaf piles with these items in them will not be picked up. LEAVES SHOULD BE AT THE CURB BEFORE 7:00 AM and will be picked up when the contractor passes through. The contractor will not make special trips to pick up leaves placed at the curb after they have picked up leaves in an area; they will have to wait until the contractor makes their next round.

The Borough also encourages you to drop off your leaves on any day/any time at the newly expanded fenced area at the Borough Garage off of South Church Street. OR, you can use your 2018 Yard Waste Pass to take leaves to the Emmaus Yard Waste Site.
