Kingston Township Police Chief James Balavage reminds residents that the Township Winter Parking Ordinance goes into effect November 1 and runs through March 31, 2011.
Under this ordinance, residents are prohibited from parking vehicles on township streets between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily.
The chief also reminds residents that vehicles are not permitted to be parked on township streets during snowstorms or for eight hours after the end of a storm.
The ordinance is designed to keep township streets open and clear so that snow removal measures can be effectively undertaken by the public works department.
Residents with questions about the ordinance may contact Chief Balavage at 696-1175.
The Kingston Township Board of Supervisors has announced the Yard Waste/Bagged Leaf Pickup has been scheduled for November 8-19.
Residents are advised to have yard waste and bagged leaves placed at the curbside for pick-up. Yard waste consists of sticks and twigs bundled three feet in length and one foot in height and one foot wide. There is a limit of two bundles. Large limbs will not be accepted.
Township crews will conduct the pick-up between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The township asks the cooperation of residents in refraining from sweeping leaves into gutters and roadways. The leaves block storm drains and pose a serious maintenance problem for the public works department. A township ordinance also prohibits this practice.
Residents are reminded that bags must contain only leaves and no grass clippings. Residents are also reminded that Ordinance 2004-4 prohibits the burning of leaves.
Residents may drop off leaves without bags and yard waste at the composting site located behind the public works facility.
Anyone with questions about the Yard Waste and Bagged Leaf Pick-up is asked to call the township administrative office at 696-3809 or the public works department at 696-3650.
