Deptford Township has released its fall leaf collection schedule. The collection is divided by zone, and each zone will be visited three times for collection. Officials ask residents be patient, as the schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions.
In order to have a smooth leaf collection, the following guidelines should be followed. Keep leaves away from vehicles and do not park on leaf piles. Leaves should be placed at the curb free of any rocks, branches, twigs, dirt, pet waste, horse manure or other debris. No plastic bags should be used. Those who do not place their leaves at the curb for this pickup will need to wait for the spring clean up program or yard waste program.
