Leaf Collection Slated for December
In December, residents of subdivisions and villages, except for Haskins, should expect to see township personnel collecting leaves that have been raked to the curb. Residents should not include any grass, brush or garbage with their leaves as the township does not provide disposal service of these materials. Inclement weather could delay pick up.
