2022 Curbside Leaf Collection Program Has Been Completed

East Hartford, CT—East Hartford Public Works has completed the town-wide leaf collection pass through all neighborhoods.

However, due to some neighborhoods still having leaves, crews will return to those streets for pickup. To ensure your leaves are picked up, we strongly recommend that you place them in paper bags on your curb. Bagging leaves will keep your property clear in case of excessive rain or snow. In addition, the Transfer Station is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and every 1st and 3rd Saturday for FREE leaf disposal.

Residents also have two (2) additional options for leaf disposal:

OPTION 1:  Curbside Brown Bag Collection for seven (7) weeks

  • Town crews will pick up leaves placed in biodegradable brown paper bags through December 17, 2022, weather permitting. Leaves, in biodegradable brown paper bags only, will be collected weekly for seven (7) weeks. No grass clippings, branches or other waste items can be placed in the paper bags nor will the Town collect leaves in plastic bags. 

OPTION 2:  Bring to the Transfer Station for FREE Disposal

  • Residents may also bring their leaves to the Transfer Station on Ecology Drive.  A valid proof of residency will be required when entering the Transfer Station with leaves only. Normal Transfer Station hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 7:15 A.M. to Noon and 12:30 to 2:45 P.M. and on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 8:00 A.M. to 1:45 P.M. 

If you have any questions regarding the leaf collection program please call Public Works at (860) 291-7374.
