    We would like to remind everyone of the importance of keeping our streets clean and safe for everyone. As we enjoy the vibrant colors of the season, it is essential to manage fallen leaves responsibly. Broadlands guidelines prohibit blowing leaves or debris into the streets. Instead, leaves should be bagged in paper bags or bins for proper disposal or mulched into your yard. Please ensure that hired lawn services comply with these policies. Blowing leaves into the streets can lead to clogged storm drains, which may create flooding risks and negatively impact local water quality. Additionally, it can create hazardous conditions for pedestrians and vehicles.

    Yard waste is collected on Mondays. Please follow Patriot Disposals guidelines for yard waste collection:

    A separate yard waste collection runs each Monday from March 1st through December 24th. During January & February, Yard debris (leaves, grass clippings, brush) may be mixed with trash. Yard waste may not be mixed with recycling. Patriot Disposal will remove yard waste that has been placed at the curb for collection by 6:00am. Please note the following requirements for the collection of yard waste:
    1. Yard waste must be placed either in a bin or a paper lawn bag.
    2. Up to 10 bags, bundles, or containers not to exceed 50 pounds each
    3. Brush must be less than 4 inches in diameter, cut into 4 foot lengths, and tied in small bundles or bagged and no larger than 2 feet in diameter.
    4. Yard debris must be placed in separate containers, marked “yard waste” or in biodegradable bags. Yard waste that is put out at the curb in plastic bags will not be picked up.
    5. Yard waste must be placed at the curbside and/or designated area by 6 a.m. for collection.
    6. Food waste mixed in with yard waste will be accepted, as it can be composted.
