The Jenkintown Borough 2021 curbside leaf collection will begin on Monday, October 25th and will continue through Thursday, December 16th. As in previous years the Borough has been divided in to five (5) routes. Each route will be collected four (4) times.
The Jenkintown Borough Public Works Department works throughout the Borough to collect leaves placed at the curb. The leaves are then transported to Abington Township and processed in to mulch, that mulch is then available free of charge to residents. Information on the leaf collection/yard debris program including the route map and pick up schedule are also posted on the Borough’s website (www.jenkintownboro.com/leaf-collection-schedule/) or to access the 2021 Leaf Collection Schedule click here.
Due to the size of the leaf collection trailer, Division Street, Healy Street, McGoldrick Avenue, St. Maur Place and Pear Street will not have curb side collection. These streets will have yard debris collected as normal every Tuesday.
