Danbury to Begin Spring Yard and Leaf Pick-Up Program

Yard Debris, or “green waste”, includes leaves, weeds, flowers, and non-woody roots and shrubs. Yard Debris or “green waste” includes leaves, weeds, flowers, and non-woody roots and shrubs. Only yard debris bagged in paper leaf bags with no tape can be left at curbside in front of residences for the city’s Highway Department to pick up.

Small tree trimmings/branches less than four inches in diameter will be collected and must be bundles with twine only. These will be picked up separately during the same period.

No tape of any kind on bags, no plastic bags, no grass, rocks, dirt, garbage or animal waste in bags, no stumps.

The Spring Pick-up Program is divided by I-84; Section A is south of I-84 (zip code 06810) and Section B is north of I-84 (zip code 06811). Section A will be picked up the week of April 20th through April 24th and then move to Section B the next week. This cycle will be repeated through May 29th.

Please remember: the Highway Department tries to get to as many streets during a week as possible, however, there are times when pick-up will be held over until the following scheduled visit to your zip code. To assure your bags are picked up in a timely manner please put them curbside the Sunday of your pick-up week.

The hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 1noon. They are closed on Sundays.
