The Town of Lunenburg is pleased to offer the following leaf collection opportunities to assist residents with their fall leaf clean-up:

• Leaves and brush can be delivered to the Town’s Starr Street compost site on Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you use bags, they must be paper.

• Leaves can be placed in your compostainer or paper bags for pick-up on scheduled “green week” collection days.

• An additional Special Leaf Collection is scheduled for Friday, November 15. Leaves must be placed in your compostainer or paper bags.

• The Public Works Department will also do a one-time leaf collection on every Town street – making one pass only as follows:

New Town
o Crews will begin pickup in your area on Monday, November 18 (weather permitting). This will take approximately two weeks to complete.
o They will make a single pass down your street, so please ensure leaves are out by November 18.

Old Town
o Crews will begin pickup in your area on Monday, December 2 (weather permitting). This will take approximately two weeks to complete.
o They will make a single pass down your street, so please ensure leaves are out by December 2.

Please do not rake leaves into gutters, ditches, or the street – these can clog storm drains and cause flooding and slippery road conditions.

Residents are also reminded that leaves can be mulched with a lawnmower mulching blade at the end of the mowing season. This saves you time and helps the environment by returning nutrients contained in the leaves directly into your lawn!

Please contact the Public Works Department at 902-634-4410 if you require further information.
