Leaf Collection Schedule for Residents on Town-owned Public Roads only (no businesses, Condo Associations, etc).
Please note some helpful hints during the leaf collection season:
- Leaves are to be raked to the street edge, NOT on the road surface or on sidewalks. If you place the leaves on the roadway surface you are in violation of CT General Statutes (CGS) 19a-335 – “Nuisance on Highway” and this is enforceable by the police.
- You may see a Crew out earlier than October 28th, however, this is a Crew testing out the leaf machines only. Please do not worry as this is not considered part of the first round.
- We are not able to give a specific date or time when the crews will be at your house due to a variety of factors (amount of leaves out, equipment, personnel, weather, etc.). Please continue to put your leaves at the curbside until we post a notice on our website letting you know when the final collection will begin.
- If you're concerned about your leaves blowing back into your yard or your neighbor's yard, consider wetting them down or covering them with a tarp.
- Please be sure your leaf piles have leaves only. No sticks, stones, grass clippings, ornamental grasses, or brush as these items can damage the leaf collection equipment. Anything other than leaves will result in your piles not being picked up.
- The trash collection service is not responsible for leaf collection and will NOT pick up leaves. Do not put leaves in your trash or recycling cart.
