Palmerton Borough plans to begin its annual leaf collections on Monday.

Collection will run through Dec. 1, according to the borough office.

Here’s the weekly schedule:

• Mondays: leaf pickup will take place at Residence Park, areas north of Columbia Avenue and east of Third Street;

• Tuesdays: north side of Lehigh and Franklin avenues;

• Wednesdays: south sides of Lafayette and Columbia avenues and south sides of 100 to 200 blocks on Princeton, Edgemont and Harvard avenues;

• Thursdays: north sides of Lafayette and Columbia avenues an north sides of 100 and 200 blocks of Princeton, Edgemont and Harvard avenues, and;

Fridays: Avenues A and B, Delaware Avenue, and south sides of Lehigh and Franklin avenues.

Do not rake leaves into the roadway. Leaves should be placed along the curb so that they do not scatter before they are picked up. Alleys will be picked up with the same street schedule.

It is not necessary to bag leaves, but cars are to be removed so that leaves are accessible for the pickup machine.

If your residence isn’t listed above, call the borough office at 610-826-2505 when you need leaves collected.

Vegetation disposal at Third Street garage materials must come from a Palmerton Borough property.

Branches, limbs, or small tree must be one-half inch to 9 inches in diameter.

Lawn and hedge clippings may be placed in the designated area (includes grass and leaves).

Disposal of any prohibited item will be considered (dumping) and dealt with under Palmerton and Pennsylvania littering laws. Disposal area is monitored by surveillance cameras.
