Danbury Announces 2025 Spring Leaf Pick-Up Schedule

DANBURY, CT — Danbury residents will have the opportunity to dispose of yard leaves at no cost this spring as part of the city’s annual Spring Leaf Pick-Up Program, Mayor Roberto Alves announced.

The program, managed by the Danbury Highway Department, will begin Monday, April 14, and continue through Friday, May 23. Leaf collection will alternate weekly between two sections of the city, divided by Interstate 84.

Section A, south of I-84 and including ZIP code 06810, will receive pick-up service during the weeks of April 14, April 28, and May 12. Section B, north of I-84 and including ZIP code 06811, will be serviced the weeks of April 21, May 5, and May 19.

Residents are asked to place their paper leaf bags at the curb on Sunday evenings ahead of their scheduled week. Only paper leaf bags without tape will be collected. The Highway Department will not collect plastic bags, grass, rocks, garbage, or other debris.

Branches will be picked up separately and must be bundled with twine. Each bundle must weigh no more than 35 pounds, and branches must be less than four feet long and under four inches in diameter.

Collection dates may change based on weather conditions or workload, officials said.

The city reminds residents to follow disposal rules closely to ensure timely pick-up and maintain clean streets. Danbury citizens may also drop off leaf bags and yard debris at Ferris Mulch free of charge.

Questions about the program can be directed to City Line 311 or by calling 203-744-4311.
