Southington's Leaf Pickup Efforts, What You Need To Know

SOUTHINGTON, CT — The leaves are not just turning in Southington ... they're coming down, just like everywhere.

And when they do, it means the annual chore of leaf disposal becomes a priority for many property owners.

Friday, the Town of Southington has unveiled schedules for both leaf drop-off at the Southington Bulky Waste Transfer Station on 617 Old Turnpike Road, Plantsville, and when the town will be hauling away your leaves by the street.

At the transfer station, the formal leaf drop-off schedule started Friday, Oct. 28, from noon to 4 p.m. (leaves and brush only)

Then on Saturday, the station is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for regular operations.

Those hours of operation will continue every Friday and Saturday through Dec. 2-3, the only exception being Nov. 25 and Nov. 26, which is the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Meanwhile, the Town of Southington will begin major roadside leaf pickup operations starting on Monday, Oct. 31, though it has already been picking up leaves since Oct. 24 for specific situations.

The town has divided up the local map into four zones, with residents asked to have their leaves by the road no later than 7 a.m. Monday, Oct. 31, Nov. 7, Nov. 14 and Nov. 21 (depending on what zone you live in.)

Southington officials have posted a list of all roads and what zones they're in on the Town of Southington Facebook page.
