Where to dispose of leaves?

I searched the forum, but no one had an answer.

If you are willing to pick up and bag your own leaves (instead of hiring a landscaper to do it), WHERE can they be taken? I imagine all the landscaper have to take them SOMEWHERE... (for example, I know Andover has someplace to take them, but that's a little far when you have as many leaves as I do...

Call the Warren County Recycling Center... they may have a compost area where you can take them (although it's not specifically mentioned on their website).

I say this because Mansfield's ordinance lists "Leaves and Yard Waste" as a "designated recyclable material" and the Warren County Recycling Center as the Township's official recycling center:

Edit: For some reason the link is broken... copy/paste it into your address bar.

Do you live in Hackettstown? Just rake them to the edge of your property, and several times throughout the fall months, the "leaf eater" truck comes through neighborhoods and vacuums them up.

Oh, sorry no- not in Hackettstown. Mansfield Twp, which does not have leaf collection.

There is a site for dropping off limbs and assorted yard waste on route 46 in Kowloon, near Gary Gray truckstop. I had to drop some limbs off last fall, it was either 15 or 20 bucks a pick up truck full. It's a Warren County service that I was pointed to when I pulled up to the Oxford dumping station and they refused to take yard waste.

Why not start a compost pile?

Depending where you live you could get a burn permit. Fun night.

"Why not start a compost pile?"


I tried that for a couple years, but I have far too many leaves- it would have to be a rather large compost pile - much larger than I'd want to have or deal with.

Just blow them in your neighbors yard and let them deal with it or put them in the street.
