The Franklin Reporter & Advocate Eight Villages, One Community
The Township will once again run its annual curbside leaf collection program starting the last week of October, and running through the end of December.
Leaves only can be placed in 30-gallon biodegradable paper bags available at home improvement stores. Leaves should be placed at curbside by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the week scheduled for pickups.
Pickup will occur on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays.
The pickup schedule is:
For Zone 1: Weeks of November 3, November 17, December 1, December 8.
For Zone 2: Weeks of October 27, November 10, November 24, December 8.
The zone map can be seen here.
