With a brand new machine for leaf pick up, the borough is ready for fall! Through a grant, the borough was awarded 90% of the cost of $68,000 needed to purchase a new leaf machine. The old machine was unreliable and often being repaired. Now a new machine will make this an easier project.

Leaf pick up is important in the borough for safety reasons and to keep sewer grates clear. All that a borough resident needs to do is get the leaves over the curb and into the side of the street. Be careful not to include branches, pine needles or dog waste. The borough workers will travel the streets collecting the leaves so that residents don’t have to haul leaves away.

Borough Manager, Chris McGann, is not setting a completion date for leaf pick up this year. “As long as leaves are falling, we’ll be picking them up!” Thank you Chris and the borough workers who make sure Mansfield is ready for every season.
