The Riverhead Town highway department will begin town-wide loose leaf pickup on Dec. 1.
Pickup will take place over three weeks with the town divided into three segments:
Week of Dec. 1: Laurel Lane to Northville Turnpike
Week of Dec. 8: Northville Turnpike to Hulse Landing Road
Week of Dec. 15: Hulse Landing Road to Brookhaven Town Line
The town highway department will make only one pass through each area.
The town highway department asks residents to adhere to the following requirements:
Do not rake leaves in a line across the front of your property; put them in one pile
Do not block vehicular or pedestrian traffic; keep leaves on your property and do not put them in the street.
This pick up is for residents only. The town highway department will not pick up landscapers’ leaves.
Put your leaves out just before your scheduled pickup week. Until then, you must bag your leaves for pickup by the town’s municipal carter on the bulk/yard waste pickup day in your district. Bagged leaves are picked up every week year-round by the carting company.
Residents may pic up free biodegradable leaf bags at the town highway department at 1177 Osborn Avenue, Riverhead.
