NOTE:  Residents may also bring leaves free of charge year-round if placed in brown biodegradable paper bags.  A valid Town disposal sticker is required; if not, the applicable single entry fee will still apply ($5.00 for cars and pickups/more for larger vehicles).  Biodegradable bags are available for purchase at both the Compost Site and Town Clerk’s Office (41 cents per bag), as well as at various local businesses.
