The fall 2026 weeks

The city's Fall/Winter 2026-2027 calendar marks these weeks: Oct 5-9, Oct 19-23, Oct 26-30, Nov 2-6, Nov 9-14, Nov 16-20, Nov 23-28, Nov 30-Dec 4, Dec 7-11 and Dec 14-18 (Oct 12-16 is not marked). Yard waste is collected on your regular trash day during the highlighted weeks of that calendar. The calendar notes a one-day delay starting Veterans Day, Nov 11, and starting Thanksgiving, Nov 26. Nov 30-Dec 4 shows under both November and December; it is the same week. Checked November 2026.

From November 6, the weeks still ahead start with Nov 9-14.

Bags, barrels and brush

Put leaves, grass clippings and twigs into paper bags or barrels marked with YARD WASTE stickers, and do not use plastic bags. Free stickers are at the DPW, City Hall and the Kennedy Senior Center, and are required on barrels. Branches must be cut into 3-foot lengths and cannot be thicker than 2.5 inches. Plastic bags are also on the city's list of recycling contaminants, so keep them out of the blue bin too.

Dropping off at the DPW Yard

The yard at 55 Sea St takes yard waste, meaning leaves, grass, branches and twigs, from Quincy residents with a valid MA license; no commercial landscapers. Hours: Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., year-round weather permitting, and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., April 4 through December 5, 2026. After December 5, Saturdays end; weekdays continue.

When JUNKRUN helps

We do not bag leaves, but heavy loads of brush, a fallen limb, a pile of storm debris, old patio furniture or a shed full of pots are priced as a trailer: a quarter $209, a half $319, three quarters $409 or a full $519. Text a photo for a flat price.
