Public Works adds a week to yard waste collection

Posted By: Staff November 28, 2023

Green yard waste barrels will now be collected Dec. 8, extending the season for another week, Public Works announced on its website.

The season for the barrels began in April, when the date for the collection of yard waste was Dec. 1. The barrels are used for the disposal of grass, leaves, woodchips and small branches.

There is an annual fee for the service, which is available by filling out an online application on the City of Bristol website of by contacting the Public Works Dept. at (860)584-6125.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
