Thursday, the town announced it is accepting bids for the rental of Vac-All's for the 2022 fall leaf collection season.

These are the machines that go around town and suck up the leaves left by the roadside.

Bids will be accepted at the Office of the Southington Town Manager, 75 Main St., Southington until 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, at which time they will be opened and read publicly.

Specifications for the Vac-All bid may be obtained at the Southington Highway/Parks Department Garage, Della Bitta Drive, Plantsville, Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or at www.southington.org.

Meanwhile, the town is also seeking bids for temporary labor for the 2022 fall leaf collection season.
