Cape May - Why does the Public Works Department stop picking up curbside residential grass and leaves after October 15 ? The leaves have just started to fall and people are still cutting their lawns and collecting grass. Now we have to travel to the recycle center instead having them picked up in front on our homes. This is a real inconvenience for residents. The pickup service should continiue until at least mid-November.
