Curbside leaf pickup in Barnegat

What homeowners tend to describe

• One pass a month, and the truck already went by

What the repair involves

The yard is raked and blown to the curb in whatever form your township actually takes — loose in a neat row for Stafford, clear bags or loose for Barnegat, brown paper or a 32-gallon container for Lacey — timed to your zone's week rather than to a general idea of when collection happens, and kept clear of the pine needles and twigs that get a pile skipped. Where the pass has already been, or there is more than it will take, the same crew loads it and hauls it instead.

$75 – $200 — typical range, not a quote. What your home needs can only be settled by a registered contractor who comes out and looks at it.

What it costs comes down to access, volume, and how far it has been left.

Barnegat Township collects leaves loose at the curb, which is what makes this worth buying in Barnegat: the crew rakes, the township disposes. Loose, or in CLEAR bags. Those are the only two forms the township collects — opaque or coloured bags are not picked up.

Five routes, each with its own week. Your route follows your trash and recycling schedule.

Where it stops. The six-bundle cap is the one that catches people. A single storm-dropped limb or one overgrown fence line is more brush than the township will take in a visit, and the appointment has to be booked the day before.
