Milford Mayor Ben Blake announced today that the annual citywide Leaf Pickup Program will run from Wednesday, Nov. 18 through Wednesday, Dec. 16. During this time leaf pickup will occur on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
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 during the course of the program. 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.
