Fall Leaf Pickup (October-November): 
The Highway Department canvasses the Town three times each Fall to pick up large piles of loose leaves.  Leaves may be left loose and should be raked to the edge of your property.  If you miss the fall pickup, your leaves may be placed into paper bags or boxes for the regular pickup. See the work calendar to locate crews during fall leaf season.

 

Placing leaves in the road is hazardous and illegal! Please just rake them to the edge of your property.

 

Pick up Schedule May Vary:

In general, the scheduled pickup days are consistent with the above zone/day, however the brush crew may be ahead or behind schedule based on the workload… In this case, we anticipate when this happens the crew will remain ahead or catch back up within a few days... In most cases we should be able to get around town within a few days of the scheduled day allowing people to place their bags out at any time during the week… This will help those who find it difficult to put all of their yard waste out within a single day…

 

Compost:
The Town Highway Department recycles and composts everything picked up.  The Town’s composting facility is located at 4334 Milton Avenue, at the Highway Department complex.  Residents may dispose of materials for composting or pick up compost for their own use between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.  During the summer months, these services are also available on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Compost grinding is available for residents’ use free of charge.
