Leaf Removal in Lacey Township, NJ

Leaf removal across Lacey Township

Lacey Township is the northern edge of our service area and one of its most varied: bayfront lagoon communities in Lanoka Harbor and Forked River, established oak-canopy neighborhoods along the Route 9 corridor, and western developments that back directly into state pinelands. Whatever corner of Lacey you're in, the fall equation is familiar — long oak drop into December, pine needles all year, and coastal storms that relocate whatever isn't cleared.

Requests from anywhere in the township get matched with crews already working the 08731 and 08734, so quotes reflect your actual neighborhood, not a county average. (Looking specifically at the lagoon sections? See our dedicated Forked River page.)

Mind the township calendar

Lacey runs its own leaf collection program with its own schedule and curb rules — separate from Stafford's and Barnegat's. As everywhere in our region, the final municipal pass often lands before the oaks finish; when that happens, private haul-away closes the gap. Official links are on our schedule page.

Lacey Township leaf pickup: how the township schedule works

Lacey Township runs leaf collection across Forked River and Lanoka Harbor on its own calendar, organized by section. Generally a late-fall program, with the township publishing section-by-section timing each year.

Lacey Township spans Forked River, Lanoka Harbor and the pinelands edge, and collection timing differs by section across that spread. A schedule that applies in one part of the township may be a week off in another — worth confirming your specific section rather than the township generally.

Lagoon-section residents should stage piles away from bulkheads and storm drains. Leaves that blow into the water are both a violation risk and a genuine nuisance for neighbors downstream.

Official information for Lacey Township residents is published by Lacey Township at laceytownship.org. Because dates and zone maps change every season, confirm the current-year calendar there before staging leaves at the curb — and see our full township schedule comparison for how Lacey Township stacks up against neighboring programs.

If the calendar and your yard don’t line up — and in this area they frequently don’t — haul-away and disposal removes everything on your schedule instead of the township’s, with leaves taken to a proper composting facility as New Jersey requires.
