Yard debris removal prices in South Windsor
First item / additional item
Contractor bag$69 / $20
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Yard waste has no curbside town route outside the fall leaf programme, so brush and tree debris go to a composting site in Bloomfield or to the Manchester landfill under pay-as-you-dump.
City cost & eligibility
The town publishes no fee for yard waste, and it states that disposal prices at Green Earth Recycling are paid by the homeowner, so confirm the current charge with the site on 860-242-2325 or with the Manchester landfill on 860-647-3257.
When & how
Tree debris, bush debris and branches may be delivered by the homeowner to Green Earth Recycling in Bloomfield or to the Town of Manchester landfill under its pay-as-you-dump programme. Leaves wait for the town's district leaf collection, which runs in two passes each season with a 24-hour hotline on 860-648-6371.
Get it ready
Pile leaves on the snow shelf or the edge of the property and keep sticks, twigs, branches and logs out of the leaf pile, because they clog the collection equipment. Residents with leaves left after the second pass may pick up a key at the Town Garage on 157 Burgess Road between 7 a.m. and 3:15 p.m., and grass clippings follow the state guidance rather than going in the trash.
Two specialty runs: metal on Wednesday, leaves in the fall
Scrap metal goes on a Wednesday run that has to be booked with All American Waste on 860-289-7850 before noon on Tuesday, and a Freon item needs the town application and a fee per item paid before the town calls the hauler. Yard waste is not part of the curbside programme outside the leaf season, so brush and tree debris travel to Green Earth Recycling in Bloomfield at the homeowner's expense or to the Manchester landfill under pay-as-you-dump. Leaves are piled on the snow shelf for the district leaf collection with sticks and branches kept out, and anything left after the second pass goes to the Burgess Road site with a key from the Town Garage.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Town of South Windsor Public Works with All American Waste
Put leaves out for the district leaf collection
A household with leaves to clear in the fall leaf season.
Cost & conditions
