How Would You Discard Maple Leaves And Maple Wood In Maplewood?

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — How would a Maplewood resident discard maple leaves and maplewood in Maplewood?

Maplewood released its new rules last week for disposing of and organizing branches, leaves, and other raked items from lawns. In addition, they released their Spring Rake Out Schedule for discarding the items, through May 17.

Materials to be picked up as part of the Spring Rake Out Program are limited to branches, leaves, and garden rakings when packaged as follows:

• Branches must not be more than four feet in length and tied in bundles that can be handled by one person.
• Leaves and garden rakings must be placed in reusable containers (e.g. garbage pales/buckets) or paper bags that can be handled by one person.
• Rocks and soil are not permitted.
• Containers will be left behind if unapproved materials are found in them, or if they can not be lifted by one person.

The Spring Rake Out Schedule 2021 is here.
