Leaf pick-up in Old Saybrook is scheduled to begin the week of November 21st 
Residents are asked to bag leaves without sticks, grass clippings or brush, etc., into biodegradable paper bags. These bags are available at local retail and hardware stores. Secure the bags and leave them by the roadside. Leaves in plastic bags will not be picked up under any circumstances. Town trucks will circulate throughout the town and pick up bagged leaves beginning November 21st thru December 9th. Do not overload the bags. Over-stuffed bags will not be picked up.
Residents can take loose leaves or bagged (biodegradable paper bag) leaves to the old landfill site located at the end of Coulter Street year round. Leaves in plastic bags must be removed from the bags at the site. Public Works will keep the gate open provided all rules and regulations are followed. If you see illegal dumping please contact the Old Saybrook Police Department (860) 395-3142.
Again, absolutely no grass clippings or brush or plastic bags will be accepted.
If you have a need for leaves for garden or other land-conditioning use, please call the Selectmen’s Office before November 21st to arrange for delivery.

First Selectman Director Public Works
