City Begins Leaf Collection

Steven Goode, courant.com, April 12, 2010

The city has begun its spring curbside leaf collection service. The service, which will end April 23, requires biodegradable trash bags.

Residents are asked to place bags of leaves at the curb as they would their trash and recyclables for their weekly assigned waste collection day.

Leaves should be placed at the curb no earlier than 4 p.m. on the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the day of collection.

Leaves may not be placed in trash containers and must be collected separately for recycling. Residents may drop off bagged leaves at the public works yard, 40 Jennings Road.
