Leaf Collection

The Bridgeport Roadway Maintenance Division provides leaf collection to City residents. Leaves should be placed in brown paper leaf bags (like those displayed at right). Leaf collections follows your recycling day schedule.

If you miss leaf collection in your neighborhood, you can always bring leaves to the Bridgeport Transfer Station located at 475 Asylum Street. Leaves should be in paper leaf bags, or they must be emptied into the container at the transfer station and taken with you.
