A few days ago, during what now seems to be a period of interminable rain, wind, solid cloud overhang, and bone-chilling temps, this photo shows a Bridgewater Township Public Works crew that was out in that weather, picking up yard brush, as part of its service for Township seniors. The fall pickup ended October 15.
I’ve written about this before, because it is a great benefit for those of us who have no easy means to dispose of accumulated brush and branches and for whom time has made the chore harder each year. I’m lucky enough still to be able to get out myself and to clean up the yard periodically, and this twice-yearly service is the one thing that helps me to dispose of branches.
The material is carted off to Bridgewater’s recycling facility, and there is no waste. Mulch from this operation is available to anyone for a nominal fee, according to Bridgewater’s new policy. Next step: leaf cleanup. The Township provides bags for leaves and will pick them up curbside from any Bridgewater resident’s property. Just call the Public Works Department to get on the list.
