Clifton Knolls 2022 Leaf Pickup Schedule

The Clifton Knolls 2022 Leaf Pick-Up Schedule will begin on Monday, October 24, 2022 and will continue through Friday, December 2, 2022, depending upon the weather.  There will be no pick-up on Tuesday, November 8 (Election Day), Friday, November 11 (Veterans Day), Thursday, November 24 (Thanksgiving Day), and Friday, November 25.  There will be no extensions expected beyond December 2, 2022.  If conditions allow, however, and if sufficient leaves have been raked to the curb, the Town Highway Dept. may start picking up leaves a few days earlier than the scheduled start date of October 24.  Please be aware that the last week of the schedule is completely dependent upon the weather, since an early snowstorm or frozen conditions could shut down pickup operations for the season earlier than planned.  Be advised that procrastination or waiting for the last week to start leaf gathering could result in missing out on leaf pickup if winter conditions arrive earlier than normally anticipated. Please note that the Mill Creek development is not included in the leaf collection district.
