Residents of Lower Nazareth Township are required to abide by the following regulations governing leaf collections. Leaves are to be recycled through the Township’s collection program. Residents must place their leaves along the edge of the street or curb for the Township to collect. It is the responsibility of the residents to protect their leaves along the street so they do not blow throughout the neighborhood. Leaves will not be collected on private property. Also, collection crews will not rake piles of leaves out from between or under parked cars. Collection crews will not empty plastic bags or containers; this is the responsibility of the residents. Branches, grass clippings, shrubbery, garbage, and building material will not be collected.

These items will be left behind and are also the responsibility of the resident. Please do not use bricks, rocks, etc. to hold tarps on top of your leaf pile. They can get mixed into the pile and vacuumed up by the equipment. With the increasing number of mature trees each year in various areas of the Township, it is impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location. If the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdown, and Township emergencies, requiring Public Works personnel and equipment to be reassigned. Your area could be skipped at any time should these situations occur.

Questions regarding leaf collections can be referred to as the Lower Nazareth Township Office Staff at 610-759-7434, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
