Town Of Newington: Fall Leaf Collection

Press release from Town of Newington:

October 22, 2021

2021 Collection Schedule: (subject to change)

• ALL STREETS WEST OF WILLARD AVENUE: First collection scheduled for the week of November 1st through November 6th.
• ALL STREETS EAST OF WILLARD AVENUE: First collection scheduled for the week of November 8th through November 13th

Depending on weather conditions, crews may enter into a section ahead of schedule or remain in an area longer than anticipated, use the above schedule as a guideline only. Please keep in mind, an early snowfall hinders our collection efforts and residents are advised to rake leaves to the curb as soon as possible.

Leaf Collection Guidelines:

• The Town will make at least two passes through each street (weather permitting).
• Rake leaves to the front of your property (adjacent to the street) as soon as possible. Crews and collection schedules vary due to weather conditions.
• Do not block sidewalks or rake leaves into the street.
• Leaves in barrels, plastic bags, cardboard boxed or mixed with branches, sticks, household trash or any foreign matter will not be picked up.
• State law requires leaves to be collected separately from the trash. Do not put leaves in your rubbish or recycling containers as they will not be picked up.
• Residents may bring leaves to the landfill on Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 1st through December 31st (proof of residency required).

The success of the Leaf Collection program is greatly dependent on the weather. Your patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
