Norwalk brush pickup starts Monday; curbside yard-waste season ends Oct. 30

Norwalk will collect brush on residents' regular trash days next week, which is also the final week of curbside yard-waste collection for the season.

The city's Oct. 26–30 collection notice limits each residence to one pickup truck load. Crews will make one collection and will not return for another load.

Brush must be stacked neatly at the curb with no roots, stumps or soil attached. Branches cannot exceed 6 feet. Entire large trees and bushes will not be collected.

Residents with a narrow boulevard may stack brush behind the sidewalk.

The city's compost facility behind Baines Park remains open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 29. City residents may drop off yard waste, leaves and brush free, but must bring a driver's license to prove residency.

A separate large-item pickup is scheduled for Nov. 2–6 on normal trash days. Households may set out three large household items or nine extra trash bags of no more than 33 gallons each, or an equivalent combination, at no additional charge.

Construction and remodeling debris are excluded. Refrigerant-containing items require a tag showing the refrigerant has been removed.
