Cheshire To Begin Curbside Storm Debris Pickup

CHESHIRE, CT – The Cheshire Town Council has approved a town-wide storm debris collection as a way to help town residents clean up after last week's tropical storm.

Public Works crews will collect brush and branches placed at the curbside beginning Monday. Brush and branches of 8" in diameter or smaller will be collected. Leaves, grass, clippings, bulky waste, bags and trash will not be collected.

Crews are expected to make one pass through the town and complete the collection in four to eight weeks, depending on the amount of debris.

All items must be placed on the curb of a town of state road, as crews cannot enter private driveways or condo complexes.

The town has also opened self-service disposal areas for residents to drop off items.

The following locations will be open Monday through Saturday starting Thursday:

• Quinnipiac Park overflow parking area, 1325 Cheshire Street
• Bartlem Park millings parking lot, 520 South Main Street
• Old Transfer Station, 1304 Waterbury Road
