Goshen

Leaf removal via Leaf-vacs begins the week of October 20. The city requests that all leaves be raked to the curb, free of brush and away from storm drains. No need to call for a scheduled pickup.

Because of recent snows, all leaf piles should be reraked and pushed to the curb for easier removal by city work crews.

Residents should rake their leaves in piles on the curb — keeping leaves out of the street. Town crews will remove the piles as they see them. Do not call the town offices to schedule pickup times.
