Ellington Bagged Leaf Collection Set for Last Week of November

In Ellington, the town picks up bagged leaves on the curb once a year, and this year, it has been set for the last week of November.

Collection will start on Nov. 26 and will follow the same schedule as trash collection. Paper bags must be used for the leaf collection and leaves in plastic bags will not be picked up.

Leaves can also be brought - at any time - to the Hoffman Road Brush Drop Off Area. In this location, plastic bags must be emptied, but paper bags do not have to be emptied.

The brush drop off area will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The area will be closed on days of inclement weather and holiday weekends. The closed dates are Nov. 10 (Veterans Day Holiday), Nov. 22 (Thanksgiving Day), Nov. 24 (Thanksgiving Holiday weekend).  

The drop off area will close for the season at 4 p.m. on Dec. 1.

If you have any questions, lease call the Public Works Department at 860-870-3140.
