The Village Highway Department will begin picking up leaves beginning April 15th. Leaves must be on the shoulder of the street by May 15th in order to be picked up. Do not pile leaves around fire hydrants or utility equipment.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS. They will not be picked up, and you will have to remove them.
No brush, such as twigs and branches, or lawn cuttings will be taken away, and mixing this debris with leaves will result in the leaves not being removed. Brush with branches up to 3” in diameter may be taken to the Westhampton recycling facility free of charge from April 15th through May 22nd. For more information, go to www.southamptontownny.gov.
Leaves cannot be piled on the shoulder of Montauk Highway. Property owners and landscapers who take leaves (only) from a Quogue property may arrange with the Quogue Highway Department to dump them at the highway yard. That will avoid having piles in front of your property waiting to be picked up and blowing back onto your lawn.
