As the leaves start to fall, the Boardman Township Road Department gears up for the fall leaf pick-up program. The program was originally funded by the Mahoning County Green Team, but funding was cut in 2013. Township Trustees have continued to provide this service at no cost to township residents.
      Any questions in regards to this program, call the Boardman Road Department at 330-726-4190.
      The 2016 Boardman Township Road Department Leaf Pick-Up Program will run from Mon., Oct. 24 thru Fri., Nov. 20.
      Leaves must be placed in brown paper leaf gags and placed by the curb on the appropriate date for your street. Brown paper leaf bags can be purchased at local hardware stores.
      Due to the Veteran’s Day holiday, no leaves will be picked-up on Fri., Nov. 11. The leaf pick-up program will resume on Mon., Nov. 14.
      Annually, the Boardman Road Department collects upwards of 35,000 bags of leaves along township roadways.
      The Leaf Pick-Up program’s daily pick-up schedule is listed in this week's edition of the Boardman News.
