In accordance with State Statutes and the policies of the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority (CRRA) Wallingford Project, yard waste is not collectible for curbside refuse service. This includes leaves, pine needles, twigs and branches, and grass clippings. These regulations have been in effect in North Haven since October 1, 1998. As such, the Town's Sanitation Division may not remove such items from the curb. Curbside collection rules do allow for 2-3 bundles of branches to be picked up weekly. No other yard waste is allowed. The Town’s Fall Leaf Collection Program remains the only time leaf collection is provided curbside.
