Norwalk leaves must be at the curb by 7 a.m. Nov. 16

Norwalk residents must have leaves at the curb by 7 a.m. Nov. 16 for the city's leaf pickup, scheduled for Nov. 16-20.

The city says crews will collect leaves only once, according to the instructions on its city calendar. Residents should place leaves where their trash is collected and within 6 feet of the curb.

Leaves must be loose. The city will not pick up bagged leaves or piles mixed with brush, sticks, other yard waste or trash. Parked cars must not block access to the piles.

The individual pickup listing confirms the Nov. 16-20, 2026, collection week. The city's instructions set the 7 a.m. deadline; the calendar's broader time range does not give a pickup appointment for each address.
