form to print: Fall 2009 Leaf Collection Program]
For
the fall of 2009, the Township will be divided into three sections
for the annual leaf collection program. Leaves may only be placed
in the street gutter on the specific dates listed in the 2009
leaf collection program schedule for each respective week and
section. The New Jersey Storm water Management Rules state that
leaves may not be placed any closer than 10 feet from any storm
drain inlet or catch basin and can only be left in the street
gutter for a maximum period of 7 days prior to their scheduled
collection date. The Township of Livingston is required by the
state of New Jersey to enforce the Storm water Management Rules;
therefore, failure to follow the leaf collection schedule and
requirements could result in warnings and fines being issued
to both the resident and respective landscape contractor.
