Leaf Removal
Quadrant You Live In	Age	Years Living in Verona	Comments
Unanswered	30 to 45	6 to 10	Other towns allow for leaves to be raked to the curb. It eases the effort required and seems to be more efficient so that leaves do not remain unraked.
North East	30 to 45	Under 1	bags are too small
North East	46 to 60	Over 10	I think they could be a little less particular with branch and twig removal
North East	Over 60	Over 10	In the Fall the schedule seems to be followed.
North West	30 to 45	Over 10	Leaf collection is good, but the way the leaf dump is operated should be reviewed. Outside landscapers dump there for free...... at taxpayers expense. I'm paying to have extra leaves hauled away and i rake,bag and haul my own leaves to the dumps myself, but yet i'm paying for these landscapers.
North West	46 to 60	Over 10	should have a definite day assigned, or better yet, have leaf removal like cedar grove
North West	46 to 60	Over 10	While they come get the bags, they don't seem to pick up the leaves that have fallen in the street. Again, we end up doing it which can be very dangerous.
North West	46 to 60	Over 10	There is NO leaf removal. All the towns around Verona all for curb side pickup. Our town has NO such program. Believe we should investigate the purchase of equipment and cost of picking up leaves from street curbs.
North West	46 to 60	Over 10	we only have leaf bag pickup - no removal & we purchase our bags
North West	Over 60	6 to 10	Greater access to the drop off area would be useful.
South East	30 to 45	1 to 5	Never know when they're going to pick up.
South East	30 to 45	Over 10	I do not use.
South East	30 to 45	Over 10	bag em, leave em, and their gone. keep the bagging system. NO LEAVES IN THE STREET. very dangerous and blocks traffic flow.
South East	30 to 45	Over 10	Leaves should be allowed to be raked into the streets.
South East	46 to 60	6 to 10	They pick up the bags... eventually. I have four large town owned trees on my property and it is a big hassle bagging all those leaves. It takes up a lot of our time! We spend at least 3 weekends bagging leaves... and I mean working all day! I'd like to have the leaves picked up from the street like they do in Montclair.
South East	46 to 60	Over 10	what is role of township in this regard? after 12 years, not sure township has a role; I have to remove theleaves from my property.
South East	Over 60	Over 10	Do we have one?
South West	Under 30	1 to 5	We have a very large piece of property and cannot affort to hire a landscaper. Having to bag leaves is a huge inconvenience and takes away time from our family and children pretty much every weekend during the fall months. Being able to just blow our leaves into the street for pickup would cut this job in half and be a huge timesaver. With all the money we spend on taxes there should be a "leaf-sucking" machine like they have in Cedar Grove.
South West	30 to 45	Over 10	should not be a limit on the number of bags they take from each residence each week. I understand the limit is 15 per household - this seems low during peek leaf season,
South West	30 to 45	Over 10	we have none
South West	30 to 45	Over 10	In West Orange, we swept the leaves to the curb. Bagging seems so old fashioned. I also wish that those who DO sweep their leaves to the curb would be fined. Look especially at the houses along Lakeside Avenue.
South West	30 to 45	Over 10	why can't they be collected from the street like in Montclair?
South West	30 to 45	Over 10	I would like more sunday hours at the leaf dump
South West	46 to 60	Over 10	My landscaper removes the leaves from my property.
South West	46 to 60	Over 10	The town should institute vacuuming of leaves to lighten the burden for the residents
South West	46 to 60	Over 10	The streets are covered with leaves.
South West	46 to 60	Over 10	But wish that we didn't have to bag the leaves.... Raking them into the street for the Township to remove them would be so much easier
South West	Over 60	Over 10	sweeper is never used. Other towns have leaves in street ready for collected and they know when the sweeper will arrive. Why do we have to hire people to remore our leaves if we are physically unable to do so?
