The city runs two leaf and yard waste collections a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, on the regular garbage day and in separate recycling trucks.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The spring and fall leaf and yard waste collections are part of the city service and are not scheduled or paid for individually. Yard waste is excluded from the normal curbside garbage collection, so the twice yearly collections are the route for it.
When & how
Put the material curbside on the same day as the garbage pickup during the spring window of April 13 to April 24, 2026 or the fall window of November 2 to November 28, 2026, and do not call to schedule or submit a bulk request for it. Christmas trees are collected January 18 to January 22, 2027.
Get it ready
Bag leaves and yard waste in biodegradable paper bags with no tape, or tie them into bundles under 50 pounds, keep individual branches under four feet long and three inches in diameter, and keep stones, dirt and sharp objects out. Raked piles at the curb are not collected, and yard waste must not be mixed or piled with the garbage.
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.

Torrington runs its own solid waste program. Curbside refuse and recycling are collected by the city's contracted hauler, USA Hauling and Recycling, on 860-379-1662, and bulk waste is requested separately on the regular trash day with a permit for each collection: the city provides two free bulky waste collections per residence each calendar year and charges a fee for each additional one, paid before the pickup is scheduled. Leaf and yard waste is not part of the normal curbside collection; it goes out on the garbage pickup day during the spring or fall window only, in biodegradable paper bags or bundles under 50 pounds. Construction and demolition debris is refused by the city, which directs residents to Albreada on 860-482-6319, and the material the bulk program will not take, including tires since September 14, 2026, all electronics and flattened cardboard, goes to the transfer station on Bogue Road, open 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on weekends.
