Westfield DPW ReleasesLeaf Collection Dates

WESTFIELD – The changing colorof the leaves and the chill in the airreminds us that leaves will soon beginto fall and the Westfield Departmentof Public Works (DPW) is busy mak-ing preparations for the town’s annualleaf collection program. With coop-eration from all residents, and MotherNature, the town can continue to pro-vide efficient and timely service.

Collection will begin simulta-neously on the north and south sideson Monday, November 8, and con-tinue through Friday, December 10,or longer, based on need as deter-mined by the DPW.

During this timeframe, two fullpasses of the town will be made, withadditional passes if necessary. Noleaves will be permitted in the streetsuntil Monday, November 1. Residentsmust have all leaves out for final pickup before Wednesday, December 1.

Residents can help by placing leavesin narrow rows along the street, andleaving space for drainage along thegutter. Do not pile leaves on or neardrainage inlets, which can lead to localflooding. Tree branches and other de-bris will not be picked up. Residents areurged to not park vehicles on the street

during collection days. Vehicles shouldnever be parked on top of leaf piles asthe hot exhaust systems can ignite theleaves and cause fires. Leaves will notbe picked up if cars are in the way.

In order to further maximize service,the town offers residents two other leafdisposal options: On demand pick-upand the conservation center.

Residents will be allowed to placetheir leaves in bags at the curb for on-demand pick-up. Starting this year,leaves must be placed in paper bagswhich can be obtained free of chargestarting on October 14 at the TownConservation Center.
