Brush Chipping At Transfer Station Starts Sept. 26 Though Sept. 30

BRANFORD, CT — Brush chipping at the Transfer Station begins Monday and continues through until Friday.

At the Transfer Station, the chip the brush brought there by residents into mulch. That in turn is given out to Branford folks for free, while supplies last.

For safety reasons, residents are not permitted in the back of the property while the machine is running, and so they cannot accept leaves or brush on the days when chipping is underway

For more information, call the Transfer Station at 203-483-8641.

While we're on the subject, fall leaf collection begins in October. Leaves must be placed in brown paper leaf bags or loose in cans, never in plastic bags, and placed near household garbage and recycling the night before regular collection days. When there is a scheduled leaf collection that falls on a holiday, they will be picked up on the following day.

Here's the leaf collection schedule.
