2025 Leaf Pickup Schedule Announced In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — The City of Stamford’s 2025 Leaf Pickup Program will begin in November.

These dates are a guideline, as there may be some delays due to weather.

Pickup schedule:

• North (above Merritt Parkway): Beginning Nov. 12
• Middle (Merritt Parkway to I-95): Beginning Nov. 19
• South (South of I-95): Beginning Dec. 3

To avoid fines and ensure your leaves are collected, place them behind the curb and not on the street or sidewalk prior to the start date for their zone.

Residents should not include brush, dirt or other debris in leaf piles or bags. Leaves should not be placed out after the city crews have completed your street. Leaf piles or bags that do not follow these guidelines will not be collected.

To ensure safe and efficient leaf collection, the city will place temporary "no parking" signs on heavily parked streets. Vehicles parked illegally during this time may be ticketed and towed.

Residents are encouraged to consider mulching leaves in their lawns or raking them into wooded areas where they can naturally decompose. These green alternatives are easy, cost-effective and beneficial for soil health.

Residents can also drop off leaves at the Stamford Transfer Station or other designated sites with proof of residency.
