Berlin Releases Leaf Collection Schedule

Information via Town Of Berlin

BERLIN, CT — The Berlin Public Works Department wishes to inform residents of the following curbside leaf collection dates. Leaves will be picked up on, or near, your trash day during the weeks of November 1st - 5th, November 15th - 19th, and November 29th - December 3rd.

Residents wishing to have leaves picked up at the curb, must put them in biodegradable brown paper bags and leave them at the curb on their regular trash day during the specified week. PLASTIC BAGS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Keep all leaf bags well away from your automated trash container. Grass clippings, yard waste and twigs cannot be mixed with leaves.

DO NOT rake leaves into the gutter. This is a violation of the anti-litter ordinance, and subject to a fine.

Those who wish to dispose of leaves on their own, may bring them to the drop-off area at 19 Town Farm Lane (off Massirio drive), Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM, on Saturday's through October from 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon, and extended Saturday hours October 23rd and 30th, November (6,13,20,27), and December 4th and 11th from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Please see the Town’s website for Saturday hours throughout the winter.)
