Curbside at your residence · - Berkeley Heights Township NJ 07922
The Berkeley Heights Department of Public Works will collect bagged leaves at the curb in Section 1 on Monday, November 30, 2026. The Township calendar lists the pickup as all day and does not give a start or end time. A second Section 1 date follows on Friday, December 4.
Union County Life is sharing the Section 1 details so Berkeley Heights residents can get ready. Section 1 includes streets such as Bergen Road, Chestnut Hill Drive, Diamond Hill Road, Glenside Avenue, Hunterdon Boulevard, Lackawanna Boulevard, Murray Hill Boulevard, Twin Falls Road, and Watchung Boulevard. Some streets are split. Mountain Avenue is Section 1 between the New Providence boundary lines, house numbers 328 to 445. Valley Road is Section 1 between Diamond Hill Road and Glenside Avenue. The full street list is at berkeleyheights.gov/sections.
Use paper biodegradable bags and stack them neatly at the curb. Put them out before November 30 so they are ready when crews come through. Bags must hold leaves only. Bags with anything else, or bags left on a driveway, will be rejected and left for you, because DPW will not go onto driveways. Do not block catch basins or sidewalks. The Township has no vacuum truck, so leaves must be bagged, not raked into the road.
The Township asks residents to stick to the posted schedule, since there will be limited time to return to a section on unscheduled dates. Residents can also drop off paper bagged leaves at the DPW, 101 Berkeley Avenue, next to Town Hall, on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from 9 AM to noon through December 31. The next drop off day is Saturday, December 5. If you live on a county road, the Union County schedule has not been posted yet. County road residents with concerns can call Union County DPW at 908.789.2660.
The Township does not list a cost for this service or mention any sign up. For questions, call Berkeley Heights Township at 908.464.2700. Stay informed about Berkeley Heights news and announcements on Union County Life.
