The Town of Hopedale Highway Department started its annual leaf collection at the end of October, and it will continue, weather permitting, “to the second week of December,” according to the Town’s website. 

Here’s how it works: 

•  Please rake leaves to edge of property line

•  Sticks, stones, and grass clippings will not be collected

• Keep sidewalks clear of leaves

• Keep piles away from stormwater catch basins

• Keep pile at a distance from parked cars, trees, mailboxes, or utility poles

After the collection period ends, please use other options to dispose of your leaves.
