Curbside Pick Up
Residents can schedule a brush/branch curbside pickup by calling the Public Works Department at (860) 584-6125. Appointment turnaround time is one week or less. Brush/branch collections are scheduled for Wednesdays. During holiday weeks, brush/branch collections are done on Thursday.
We do not pick up brush/branches in the winter. You may make a brush/branch collection appointment during Yard Waste season (typically the first week of April through mid-November (weather-permitting) and sometimes extended into December).
Branches must be less than six inches in diameter and cut to maximum 4-foot lengths. The total brush/branch pile cannot exceed 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 4 ft. (length x width x height). Branches/brush must be tied in secure bundles that one person can lift.
Sorry, we cannot collect loose piles of brush/branches.
Please do not place brush/branches at the curb until 24 hours before your scheduled collection date.

Transfer Station
Brush and branches fitting the above description, and any other yard waste, can always be brought by city residents to the city's Solid Waste Transfer Station with a residential permit.
