More Landfill Hours So Residents Can Dump Storm Limbs, Brush

EAST HAVEN, CT — The town has extended the operating days and times at the landfill so residents can get rid of tree limbs and other brush storm debris. Free for Est Haven residents only with debris from yards.

The 250 Commerce St. landfill will be open the entire week, Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Contractors are prohibited from disposing of storm brush and tree limbs, a statement from the town reads.

Also, over the next several days, the town's Department of Public Works will clear "left over limbs and brush from the edge of roadways." Though there's no schedule posted, workers in two teams will clean every street, the town says, between the north and south ends of town.
