Leaf Collection Update: Dec. 31

Ocean Pines Public Works will operate its leaf vacuum truck beginning on White Horse Drive today, Thursday, Dec. 31.

Residents should refrain from blowing leaves directly into the ditches, as this can lead to clogging of pipes as well as difficulty in water flow. Only ditch leaves should be raked to the curb; residents are asked not to rake leaves from the rest of the yard for curbside vacuuming. 

Ocean Pines residents may bring leaves and yard debris in bulk or paper bags to the Public Works yard at 1 Firehouse Lane, near the south Fire Department. The yard will be open through Dec. 31, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
