Farmington Public Works Schedules Leaf Collection

Fall leaf collection in Farmington is scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 26.

Leaves are to be raked to the street edge, NOT ON THE ROAD SURFACE. If you place the leaves on the roadway surface, you are in violation of CT General Statutes (CGS) 19a-335 – “Nuisance on Highway” and this is enforceable by the police.

Leaves mixed with branches and other debris will NOT BE PICKED UP.

A collection of all the town’s public streets will be completed twice, weather permitting. The trash collection service is not responsible for leaf collection and will NOT PICK UP leaves.
