Cranston's Curbside Leaf Pickup: How Long Do I Have To Clean My Yard?
If you want the city to pick up your leaves, you only have a little more than a month left to get them raked.
CRANSTON, RI — Cranston's 2022 curbside leaf collection and yard waste pickup began in April, but there's now only a little more than a month left to get those fall leaves off out of the yard.
Yard waste pickup ends in Dec. 17 in Cranston. During pickup, city crews will scoop up piles of leaves placed at the curbside. The pickup day is the same as your regular trash day.
Town officials said no container will be collected if it is mixed with trash and yard waste. Yard waste must be placed in brown paper bags (no plastic bags) or corrugated boxes marked "Yard Waste" or barrels marked "Yard Waste." Branches must be bundled and no longer than 4 feet l and placed on the curb no later than 6:15 a.m. on your collection day, but not before noon the day before.
