The City of Litchfield collects brush and leaves during the spring and fall:

• Spring collection – April 1st through June 5th
• Fall collection – October 15th through November 15th 

We do NOT pick up grass clippings. Grass clippings should be disposed of at the landfill on Hawkes Drive.

Bundles of brush must be stacked in 4-foot bundles at the edge of the road.

Brush must be separated from leaf piles.

Brush and leaves MUST be placed near the curb or just off the roadway. No debris can be placed on the road.

Brush and leaf pick-up is weather-dependent.

Residents can utilize the landfill on Hawkes Drive for brush, leaves, and yard waste. Keys to the gates are available at the City Office. See the Landfill page for more information.
