Curbside leaf collection will take place on your regular trash collection day this week, so if today is your trash collection day, it's also your leaf collection day. There will be no "missed pickups" conducted. The Town asks that you please do your part in proper preparation for disposal. We ask that you abide by the following rules: leaves must be out for collection by 7:00 AM; leaf containers must be physically separated from trash and recycling; paper leaf bags are preferred, but if you must use barrels to contain the leaves, remove the covers so that the leaves are visible -- no plastic bags or cardboard boxes will be accepted, and no branches or brush will be collected. Please note that separate trucks collect the rubbish, recycling, and leaves.
