2015/16 LEAF PICK-UP NOTICE
EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9th
WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY DELAY COLLECTIONS
Crews will start at the 4 corners of the Town: 2 crews in the northern sections (near the Monroe border), 2 crews in the southern sections (near Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stratford borders), and will work their way towards the center of Town until completed.
Primary roads will be collected first; this is expected take approximately 2 weeks. A list of the main roads can be found here. Secondary streets will follow in the same pattern as above. Pay loaders will remove larger piles of leaves first, then crews will return to finish clean up with leaf vacuums. Both phases many not occur on the same day.
RESIDENTS CAN TRACK THE LEAF COLLECTION PROGRESS
BY VIEWING THE 2015 LEAF PICKUP PROGRESS MAP, TO BE UPDATED DAILY.
LOOSE LEAF COLLECTION WILL BE DONE ONLY ONCE ON EACH STREET.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOUR LEAVES ARE AT THE CURB
NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 9TH.
LEAVES MUST BE PLACED ON THE LAWN, AT THE EDGE OF THE CURB; NOT IN THE ROADWAY. Putting leaves on the pavement is subject to a $90 fine and creates dangerous conditions for vehicles and pedestrians. Do not deposit your leaves on someone else’s property or vacant lot - unless you have the owner’s permission.
In the event of an early snowfall, if crews are not able to complete leaf collection, leaves in the gutter may be plowed back partially onto your lawn and may remain snow covered. In the spring, the grass may show temporary signs of stress because it has been covered over, but will remedy itself as the weather warms.
BAGGED LEAF COLLECTION: Residents may request bagged leaf pickup at any time throughout the program by calling 203-452-5070. All leaves must be in PAPER BAGS…Plastic bags will not be picked up.
