East Hartford, CT— The updated leaf collection map for week 8 is now available below. 

Due to the recent snow, the vacuuming of leaves has been delayed. The public works crews are currently focusing on picking up leaf piles on roadways. Weather-permitting, vacuuming of the leaf piles on tree belts will proceed in accordance with the leaf map below. The leaf collection will continue weather-permitting until all streets are completed. Snowfall may cause a suspension or cancelation of leaf collection.

Residents are also encouraged to pursue two additional options for leaf removal:

  • Town crews will pick up leaves placed in biodegradable brown paper bags weather permitting. Leaves in biodegradable brown paper bags will be collected weekly on the scheduled waste collection days. The use of the brown bags is strongly recommended as early snow may require suspension or cancelation of vacuum leaf collection until the spring.  Leaves in plastic bags will not be collected and bags with grass clippings, branches or other foreign matter will not be collected.
  • Residents may also bring their leaves to the Transfer Station on Ecology Drive. Bulky waste permits are not required for residents 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.  The Transfer Station will also be open on Saturday, November 9, Saturday November 23 and Saturday November 30 for residents to drop-off loose leaves or leaves placed in biodegradable paper bags. Leaves in plastic bags will not be accepted.

The progress of the leaf collection program will be available on the Public Works 24 hour information telephone line, 860-291-7374, or by calling the Highway Services Division at 860-291-7371, Monday through Friday between 7:30 A.M. and 3:00 P.M.  Frequent updates and progress mapping will also be posted on the Public Works webpage, Town webpage and Town Facebook.
