No yard waste or grass clippings. No plastic bags.
(click on this link for calendar dates.)
For the leaves to be collected, they must be in a brown paper leaf bag. Do not use plastic bags; the Town will not pick up leaves in plastic bags. Leaves should not be raked into the streets, piled at the curb, placed in wetlands, streams, storm drains, or onto Branford Land Trust Property.
Your leaves will be picked up on the same day as your regular recycling collection, though by a separate truck. Residents are reminded not to include branches and also to keep the leaves free of litter and other materials which will not decompose. These materials contaminate the compost which your leaves are turned into at the Transfer Station and which is available to Branford residents for free.
Leaves can be brought to the compost site behind the transfer station at any time of year! A Branford Residence Sticker is required.
Please make sure that leaves are out the night before your collection day!
