Haverhill begins collecting leaves and certain other yard wastes at the curb with the first of two pickups this season taking place Saturday.

Besides leaves, Haverhill is now collecting pumpkins, mums, corn stalks and hay bales from homes. Households that receive curbside trash collection may place open-top barrels or biodegradable paper leaf bags prior to 6 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 2. A second collection takes place Saturday, Dec. 7.

Collection does not include brush, limbs, branches, sticks or tree trunks. Brush may be dropped off at the Recycling Center, behind the Public Works garage, 500 Primrose St., Wednesdays, 8 a.m.-3 p.m., and Saturdays, 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Residents must have the 2024 sticker or a day pass to drop off brush or branches. The sticker may be purchased at the Public Works offices, weekdays, from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
