LEAF & BRUSH PICKUP
**PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE SCHEDULE FOR PICKUP**
The Town of Newton will once again combine a brush pick-up with the annual leaf collection program in
November. The Public Works crew will begin the Collection Program on Monday, November 7th and will
continue until December 2nd. Zone 1 will be picked up the week of November 7th, Zone 2 the week of the
14th, Zone 3 the week of the 21st, and Zone 4 the week of the 28th.
Please put the bags and brush out at the curb line and not in the street. This will avoid interference with
traffic and possible breakage of the bags. Tree limbs must be smaller than 4 inches in diameter (no
exceptions). The cleanup is intended for residents to clear away naturally occurring fallen brush and light
pruning. Property owners are responsible for felled trees.
The leaves and brush will be taken to the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority (SCMUA) in
Lafayette for disposal. SCMUA will only accept leaves in biodegradable bags. The bags can be
purchased at local home improvement stores. Residents may take leaves/brush to SCMUA for disposal
themselves, but a small fee may be charged by the County facility.
CHRISTMAS
TREE PICKUP
The Public Works crew will be picking up Christmas trees beginning
December 26th through January 15, 2017. All trees must be free of
bases, lights and ornaments.

bags are brought to the Recycling
Center they will not be accepted.
