Questions
Leaf Removal & Fall Cleanup FAQ
Updated October 24, 2026
Where do leaves go in Chittenden County?
Virtually all leaves collected in Chittenden County end up at Green Mountain Compost, CSWD's Organics Recycling Facility on Redmond Road in Williston, where they're turned into compost. CSWD doesn't pick up leaves, so homeowners either drop them off or hire a crew.
Is it bad to leave leaves on the lawn over winter in Vermont?
A light scatter is fine. UVM Extension says shredded leaves mowed into the lawn break down and feed the soil. But a thick layer left matted on the turf through cold, wet weather can encourage pink snow mold, so heavy leaf cover should come off the lawn before the snow sticks.
Can I put leaves in the trash in Vermont?
No. Since July 1, 2016, Vermont's Universal Recycling law (Act 148) has banned leaves, grass clippings, brush and clean wood from the trash and landfills. They have to be composted, mulched, or taken to a drop-off or compost facility that accepts them.
Should I wait until every leaf is down?
Not necessarily. On heavily wooded lots, two visits, one in late October and a final one in November, keep the lawn from being buried for weeks.
