Please do not place leaves on the street. The street-sweeping machines cannot pick them up — and in fact, leaves can damage the equipment. If you need help collecting your leaves, contact my office — we’re providing free leaf bags to help keep our community clean and our equipment safe. Let’s work together to keep our neighborhoods beautiful this fall! | Councilman Michael Silva

Today is the first day of our intense street sweeping & pothole repair program and Mayor Ras J. Baraka is out on the streets trying out our new street sweeping machines. If you see one on your block, be sure to wave and say hello | City of Newark, NJ - City Hall
