1. How do I find my leaf collection section?

Livingston Township streets are divided into three sections. Find your street name on the Alphabetical List of Streets to look up your section (1, 2, or 3). 

On the Leaf Collection page, you can view a map of the sections and find a basic description of the section divisions.

Please note that State and County roads are not included in the Township Leaf Collection Program; information about weekly pickup of bagged leaves on these roads is also available on the Leaf Collection page.

2. What if I missed my collection week?

If you missed your section's first collection week, don't worry! Public Works will return to all three sections during the final week of the Leaf Collection program. Do not place more leaves in the street until the next scheduled date. 

View the Leaf Collection Program Schedule on the Leaf Collection page for this year's dates. Be sure to note the final date to put leaves in the street.

3. More leaves fell after my collection week. What should I do?

Once the first pickup period for your section has passed, do not place more leaves in the street until the next scheduled date. Public Works will return to all three sections toward the end of the Leaf Collection Program. 

View the Leaf Collection page to find this year's schedule by section. Be sure to note the final date to put leaves in the street.

4. I live on a state or county road. What do I do with my leaves?

The Township Leaf Collection Program schedule and sections are for municipal streets only. Leaf collection on Essex County Roads and State Highway Rt. 10 will occur once per week during the leaf collection season. Leaves along these roads must be bagged (PDF). 

Livingston Township provides free paper leaf bags to property owners on these roads. Residents can pick up leaf bags at:

Public Works Garage

235 S. Livingston Avenue

8 am to 3 pm on weekdays

during the designated period each year. Proof of address must be provided. See the Leaf Collection page for this year's dates. 

Be sure to note the final date that paper-bagged leaves may be placed at the curb for collection on State and County Roads.

State and County roads are:

• Beaufort Avenue
• East Cedar Street
• Eisenhower Parkway
• East & West Hobart Gap Road
• John F. Kennedy Parkway

• East & West Northfield Road
• Old Short Hills Road

The Alphabetical List of Streets also indicates which streets are State/County roads.
