Leaves everywhere and the town pickup is ending

Leaves left on the lawn over winter mat down and smother the grass. Get a cleanup before your town's yard waste season ends: Barrington runs to mid-December, East Providence to December 15, Newport through November. The crew bags them in paper the town's way or hauls them off.

It's November, the oaks just let go, and every weekend is booked. Here's how to get it done before the snow.

Questions people ask

Is it bad to leave leaves on the lawn?

A thick layer mats and smothers grass over winter. A light layer can be mulched with the mower.

Can you come this week?

Say it's urgent on the form; the crew tells you plainly.

What about the beds?

Leaves come out of the beds too, or are left as winter cover if you prefer.
