Town of Old Lyme officials have asked us to remind readers that the Town does not provide curbside leaf pick up.
Some residents contract with local landscapers for leaf removal. Others take their leaves to the Transfer Station on Four Mile River Road. The minimum charge for disposal is $5 and residents must empty and remove leaf bags.
Keeping storm drains clear is a matter of public safety. Town crews clear storm drains of debris, including the small quantity of leaves that may blow into the drain area.
Residents are asked to do their part, as well, to prevent leaves and brush from their properties from settling in the street and near storm drains. Town officials note that the cooperation of residents is much appreciated.
