Public Works - Leaf Collection Guidelines

(Check the Township website homepage “News” for weekly updates)


When will Township collection be in my area?

We post schedules two weeks before leaf pickup.

Why are we always first/last to be collected?
We try to rotate the scheduling. You are welcome to bag leaves for your regular trash and recyclables day or take leaves to the Kresson Road Leaf Site, free of charge.

When will our streets be swept?
The sweepers follow the crews through each area and the roads are swept following the collection process.

My neighbor's car was parked in the street, so the leaf collectors had to go around it. When will they return?
Cars must be removed from the streets between the hours of 7am and 5:30pm. Our apologies, but we cannot come back, as we have schedules to keep in other areas that have been posted.

I cannot rake my leaves out to the street because I am a senior citizen. Can someone help me?
Please call Camden County Senior Services at (856) 858-3220.

Can I bag my leaves? When do they go out?
We encourage residents to bag their own leaves. Please place them in open bags or containers weighing under 50 pounds. They go out on your regular trash day and are collected as recyclables.

I have a Landscaper. How should he dispose of my leaves?
Landscapers must remove leaves from their work sites. They can pick up free permits at DPW to deposit leaves in the Kresson Road Leaf Site.

Can I take my leaves somewhere?
Yes, you may take them to the Kresson Road Leaf Site, Monday through Friday, 8 am - 3 pm, Saturday 8 am - 2 pm (when crews are working). Just show your drivers license or proof that you are a Cherry Hill resident.

Do I have to use clear bags?
Clear bags are easier for Township collectors to spot them, but you may use regular plastic bags - just leave one bag opened on the top. Most preferred are bio-degradable bags as they are environmentally friendly.

The Township collected everyone's leaves but my own. Why?
We will check with the Supervisor to determine what happened in this area, and reply with an explanation.

Leaves blew from your trucks back onto my lawn. Can you come back and clean them up?
We apologize for the inconvenience, but cannot return to clean up.

I raked my leaves into the street and they are blowing all over. What can I do?
Please do not rake leaves until signs are posted in your neighborhood. Remember, leaves must be raked to the curb, not to the street.

The Township collectors will be in my area next week. Can you tell me what day they will be on my street?
There is no way to be specific about what day we will be on a specific street. To ensure your leaves are collected that week, have them curbside by the beginning of the week.

We were scheduled for pick up during a particular week, and no one showed. Why?
Collectors are unfortunately running behind schedule. For more information, call Public Works at (856) 424-4422.
