Leaf vacuuming is now ongoing in Waltham!

Here's a quick run-down:
Simply bring your leaves to your curb before the Monday of your pick-up week & make sure you're not covering any storm drains. No sticks, brush, garden refuse, or other waste - only leaves. Leaves won't necessarily be picked-up on your usual trash & recycling day, but will be collected only ONCE during your scheduled week. See the leaf vacuum schedule below (they are currently collecting leaves for scheduled FRIDAY residents this week).

*MAKE NOTE - The leaf vacuuming program (which now runs on a rotating schedule each year) should be used to enhance the already established yard waste pick-up program, and not to replace it. This should be used as a secondary option for yard waste. The vacuuming schedule is subject to change/halt due to weather. They will not be making more rounds for those who may have missed their pick-up week.

You also still have the option to bag your leaves. Simply use a paper leaf bag or a barrel (up to 50lbs marked "yard waste") to dispose of leaves, grass, and all other easily raked material. Small twigs & branches less than 2 inches in diameter and less than 3 feet long are okay. No stumps, logs, rocks, or stones. Collection alternates according to your address, which is assigned to either A-Week schedule or B-Week schedule.See here for more info on our yard waste pick-up services, which are ongoing through December & see our Recycling & Trash brochure for more
