Lesley DiCocco, Neighbor

PRESS RELEASE:

   Milford, CT, October 21, 2013:  Mayor Benjamin G. Blake announced today that the annual citywide Leaf Pickup Program will begin on Saturday, November 16, 2013.

As in past years, only leaves placed in paper bags will be collected.  Leaves in paper bags – which are biodegradable and can be mixed with composted material − should be left at the curb away from regular weekly garbage and recycling bins.   The City will not accept plastic bags, and if leaves are put out in plastic, they will be left at curbside.

City crews will pick up leaves on a weekly basis until the first snowfall.  If you choose not to bag leaves for pickup, you may bring them directly to the Transfer Station on Oronoque Road.  The Transfer Station is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is closed daily from noon to 12:30 p.m. for lunch.
