PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY
Coming this fall! Updates to our leaf collection guidelines
Learn more at the Wednesday, Sept. 18 meeting, 6 p.m. at Hollowbrook Center
Ewing Township just updated its rules for leaf, brush, and yard waste collection (see Ordinance 24-19), and it’s something we all need to be aware of. As of Sept. 8, the amended ordinance allows a scheduled period of loose leaf collection during the months of November and December to simplify and expedite the process of leaf collection for residents.
This new rule regarding loose leaves replaces the old one from 2021 (Ordinance 21-08) that required everything to be bagged in biodegradable paper or put in containers all year round. The update is necessary because of State regulations, and it helps make sure Ewing is following the latest environmental guidelines. Let’s do our part to keep our community clean and green!

The Ewing Township Health Department encourages all Ewing residents to get their free flu shot ahead of the 2024 flu season. This free clinic is available to Ewing Township residents only.
Get the flu vaccine to protect yourself against infection and to help prevent the spread of the disease. Reduce the risk of getting the flu, visits to your physician, lost time at work and school due to the flu, as well as flu-related hospitalization. Receiving your flu vaccination if you are healthy helps to prevent illness in our most vulnerable populations as well.
The Flu Vaccine is RECOMMENDED for ALL adults and children aged 6 months and older (with rare exceptions[1]) and REQUIRED for children attending nursery school and children in daycare who are 6 months to 5 years of age. Postpone getting a flu shot if you have a fever or feel ill. Click the calendar, below or here for the full schedule.
