PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY
This Fall: New Leaf Collection Guidelines in Effect
More than 75 residents gathered at the Hollowbrook Community Center on Sept. 18 for a community meeting about Ewing’s upcoming leaf collection changes. Beginning this fall, from November through January, residents will no longer have to bag loose leaves. Instead, curbside pickup will be provided using Ewing’s new truck-mounted leaf vacuum. Residents can continue bagging leaves for pickup from March to October.
Additionally, Ewing will no longer collect grass clippings with yard waste. Grass clippings, which are considered solid waste, must be placed in trash bags and put out for regular garbage pickup starting in September. Grass left at the curb in brown bags won’t be collected, and it should not be mixed with leaves or other yard waste.
A slide presentation from the meeting is available on the township website, along with a FAQ on yard waste recycling and a brochure that includes tips and a zone map. Residents can also pick up a brochure at Town Hall or the Public Works facility at 136 Scotch Road or download here.
For more information, visit the township website or contact Public Works at publicworks@ewingnj.org.

Lights Out Program
Providing safe passage for night-migrating birds from Sept. 6 to Oct. 6.
Every year, billions of birds migrate north in the spring and south in the fall, the majority of them flying at night, navigating with the night sky. However, as they pass over big cities on their way, they can become disoriented by bright artificial lights and skyglow, often causing them to collide with buildings or windows. Audubon’s Lights Out program is a national effort to reduce this problem.
Last Hazardous Waste & Paper Shredding Events of the Season!
Don’t miss your final chance to shred personal documents before the season ends! Ewing will conduct a paper shredding event on Saturday, Oct. 5, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Ewing Municipal Building. Mercer County Improvement Authority also hosts a paper shredding event on Oct. 19, 9 a.m. to 12 noon, Lot 4/ 651 South Broad Street (across from Mercer County Administration Building).

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.

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. No insurance? No problem. Click the calendar, below or here for the full schedule.
