Leaf & Brush Collection – Harris Township

Fall Leaf Collection

Fall leaf collection will begin officially on November 2nd. However, as time permits, there may be periodic random leaf collection. We will continue to collect leaves until the weather causes us to cease collection or all the leaves have been collected.

If you have ornamental grasses, please cut the grass in lengths 12 inches or shorter and place the grass with your leaves. Do not bundle the grass – leave it loose with the leaves.

More information on how to prepare your materials for collection can be found here: https://harristownship.org/resident-info/leaf-brush-collection/.

Fall Brush Collection

Fall brush collection will begin on October 26th. This is a one-time only collection, so please have your brush at the curb by 7:00 AM on the 26th to ensure collection. Please note that it generally takes us about a week to collect brush in the Township, so your pile may sit for a few days until we get to it.
