Simsbury's Leaf Collection Operation Starts Next Week

Town of Simsbury

SIMSBURY, CT — With November coming to an end this week, there's a good chance all of those leaves have finally fallen from the trees.

Now, it's the Town of Simsbury's turn to act.

This year's bagged leaf collection will begin on Monday, Dec. 1, and will continue through Wednesday, Dec. 10.

The town has posted online the map identifying when each neighborhood can expect collection by USA Waste & Recycling.

Residents can find more detailed information for each neighborhood on the Town's Leaf Collection map here: https://simsbury.mapxpress.net/leaf/index.html .

Simsbury officials released some information about this year's leaf collection:

• There will be only one collection per neighborhood.
• All leaves must be contained in biodegradable paper bags. You can buy these at most hardware stores, grocery stores, and larger retailers.
• Under no circumstances should you blow or rake your leaves into the road.
• Wait to place bagged leaves curbside until the night before, or by 6 a.m. on the morning of your street's collection.
• No items should be placed in the street or in any way block a sidewalk.
• Residents can also bring bagged leaves and grass clippings to the bulky waste facility during normal hours at no charge (just bring proof of residency). The facility is open to residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
