Hiring Brush and Leaf pick-up schedules as well as municipal Yard hours were announced by Councilman James Murphy at Wednesday’s borough council meeting, along with news there are currently positions open in the Public Works Department for new employees.
Murphy noted the brush pick up begins October 7 and will be conducted zone by zone with one pass through the entire borough. Material should be out and in compliance with pick-up requirements he said.
There will be two leaf pickups, the first beginning Nov. 4, again zone by zone, and the second beginning December 9 with one pass through town. Residents are urged to remind any building contractors or workers of the schedules for the convenience of all and enhanced appearance of the borough.
The fall seasons for the borough yard are posted on the borough calendar as well as online and at the yard. Mondays through Fridays, the borough yard is open for recycling disposal from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. There will be weekend hours for leaf and brush drop-offs only, on November and December Saturdays and Sundays from 8 am, until noon.
The Public Works Department also reminds residents and businesses that no signs are permitted on borough, county or state property and will be removed if posted without written permission from the proper authority.
Persons interested in applying for a position with the Public Works Department should apply as soon as possible either Borough Hall during business hours or by downloading an application at ahnj.com
