The 2024 leaf collection season was one of the smoothest seasons Dover Township has had in recent years. Thanks to the new equipment purchased in 2023 (it stayed running this year) and some changes made to how we collected your leaves. We were able to collect leaves more efficiently resulting in less manpower and less fuel usage. The flagging roads were picked up on a more regular basis than normal. This was completed without the need for workers directing traffic and being in harm’s way. This made it safer for the employees and residents of Dover Township.
Just a few reminders for the 2025 leaf collection season:
- Leaves need to be curbside. The crew will only pick up as far as the machines can reach.
- Keep leaves clear of obstacles. Keep them away from cars, mailboxes, pole, street signs, etc.
- No branches, grass clippings, bricks or rocks in the piles of leaves.
- We do not have a set schedule for leaf collection. Please refrain from calling the township about your leaves. We will get them collected as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation, Dover Township
