Leaf and Yard Waste

Fall 2025 Yard Waste Collection
While we try to meet the following schedule, our collections may be affected by bad weather or other factors. Should we get behind in our schedule, we will collect leaves as close to your collection date as possible. Unfortunately, we can’t always determine the order in which we service each area, so please be prepared for us to be on your street on any day throughout the week you are scheduled for.

Residents who live in developments where the roads have been dedicated to the Township should place leaves out for collection beginning October 20th through December 5th. The Township crew will travel through the dedicated road developments weekly. If leaves are placed out late in the week, they may be collected the following week. Leaves must be on the road surface, against the curb. Leaves on the sidewalk or in yards will not be collected.

Developments in this group are: • The Elms • Walnut Bank Farms (Walnut Bank Farm Road, Farm House Lane, Red Barn Lane and School House Lane) • Richland Mead • Hunters Crossing, (including Timberbrook Drive and Hallmark Place) • Sweetbriar • Brayton Gardens I • Brayton Gardens II • Tollgate Landing • Richland Court • Regency Manor • Spring Meadows • Presidential Estates (Academy Place) • Richland Station, (including Turntable Circle) • Heather Valley/Richland Farms • Deer Run Estates • Morgan Creek

Residents who live in developments with roads that are privately maintained, will have leaves collected two times; on November 3rd to November 7th and again the week of November 17th to November 21st. Most of these developments have parking lots or courts that cannot be accessed with our equipment because of space constraints and numerous parked cars. Therefore, we ask you place leaves on the street, against the curb on the main access roads. Leaves on sidewalks and yards will not be collected.

Developments in this group and the streets where leaves may be placed are: • Stonegate Village (place leaves on Stonegate Road) • Beaver Run (place leaves on Beaver Run Drive, Terrace Drive and Windsor Circle) • Richland Green • Quakers Green (place leaves on Quakers Way) • Walnut Bank Farms Condominium Section (place leaves on Walnut Bank Farm Road) • Renaissance at Morgan Creek (place leaves on Memory Lane, Creekside Lane, and Turtle Creek Lane) • Arbours at Morgan Creek • Reserve at Hidden Ponds

Leaf Collection Along Rural Roads: Due to the amount of frontage along roads that are not in developments, those roads will be limited to a one-time collection during the week specified for your road. Leaves placed for collection after the specified week may not be collected. Leaves should be placed on the shoulder as close to the roadway as possible. Our machine cannot reach farther than the shoulder so leaves beyond that point will not be collected.

Spring 2026 Yard Waste Collection
Richland Township Spring Yard Waste Collection will occur in May. Pickups will be held during the week of May 4th through May 8th. The collection will be done by the Township’s Public Works department. The yard waste should be placed curbside by Sunday, May 3rd so you are not missed.

Leaves should be piled against the curb or bagged (paper bags only – no plastic). Sticks should be stacked (bundled and/or tied would be appreciated) and placed on top of the curb or along the edge of the road if you do not have curbing.

Please DO NOT put out rocks, dirt, stumps, trash, or lumber. ONLY LEAVES AND STICKS WILL BE COLLECTED

We WILL NOT collect grass clippings, pine needles/cones, or other unacceptable items.

Please note: We do not have a set schedule of which days we will be on which roads. Our schedule depends upon weather, workload, and other unforeseen factors. We will make sure we get around the entire Township in a timely manner, depending on those conditions.

The Township also has a brush dumpster, and a grass clipping/leaf bin located in the far rear of the property behind the salt storage shed at the Township building. This is available year-round for residents to bring yard waste at their convenience.
