When Is 2015 Leaf Pickup in Hamilton and Wenham?

If you haven’t already begun raking and bagging leaves, you no doubt will need to soon.

Hamilton will be picking up leaves on Nov. 14 and Dec. 5. All leaves must be placed out on the curb by 7 a.m. on pick-up day in biodegradable paper bags or trash cans. No brush, grass clippings or other yard debris is permitted.

In Wenham, pickup will begin on Nov. 2, with crews hoping to make two passes through town for loose leaf collection before Dec. 12. See the press release below from the Town of Wenham for more information.

Leaf collection in Wenham will begin Nov. 2 with one to two passes of loose leaf pickup followed by a bagged leaf pickup in December, if needed.

The Wenham Department of Public Works will start the loose leaf pickup on the west side of town with Maple Street at the Danvers Town Line and continue down Maple picking up the side streets, i.e. Birch, Burley, Puritan, Mayflower etc.

At Topsfield Road, the DPW will head easterly, picking up all side streets and then westerly to the Hilltop Road/Burnham Road area.

The DPW will continue to Cedar Street, then Cherry Street and all side streets off Cherry to Route 1A. The department will then jump to the easterly side of town at Grapevine and the Beverly line. From there, the DPW will head westerly down Grapevine Road, picking up all side streets. The DPW will continue on to Dodges Row, Walnut Street and Larch Row to Route 1A, then Fairview, Patti, Fiske, Lake, and Great Pond roads.

Lastly, the DPW will pick-up Main Street, Arbor Street, Perkins, Porter and all side streets.

This loose leaf pickup will conclude by Dec. 12. If needed, a bagged leaf pickup will be conducted on Wednesday, Dec. 23. In the event that we receive a significant snowfall, a bagged leaf pickup will be conducted in the spring.

All leaves must be placed curbside in PAPER BAGS or open trash barrels by 7 a.m. No plastic bags are allowed. Please contact the Wenham DPW with any questions at 978-468-5520 Ext #6.

The DPW makes every effort to pass through each street twice, but due to the uncertainty of the weather this time of year it is not always possible. Check the town website for updates. (Unfortunately, we are not able to predict an exact day we will be on a certain street.)
