Concord Fall Leaf Collection

Starting Monday, November 2, 2015, Concord and Penacook residents can rake their leaves (un-bagged) to the curb for collection. Concord General Services will have three crews collecting leaves up through December 11, 2015, as weather permits. The first crew will work north from the Bow town line on South Street, the second crew will continue south from Elm Street in Penacook, and the third crew will work north on the east side of the Merrimack River from Manchester Street.

Crews will only have time to come by once, so it is highly encouraged to be ready by the start of the program to avoid missing collection. It cannot be predicted when crews will reach certain locations due to unpredictable leave volumes and weather conditions. However, a Fall Leaf Collection map will be available online at www.concordnh.gov/leafcollection to show where crews have already collected.

Leaves are the only acceptable material that will be collected. Branches and brush can be brought to Earth Materials Recycling Center for a nominal fee. Leaves can also be brought to Earth Materials Recycling Center for free with proof of residency if the load is smaller than a non-commercial pick-up truck.
