Leaf piles are growing, and Brookfield has a place for them. The town's yard refuse disposal center on Pocono Road, between Town Hall and the firehouse, is open on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Saturday hours run through December 5, giving residents five more Saturdays — with one exception, noted below — to clear leaves, brush, and other yard waste before winter.

A permit is required, and it is free. Permits are available from the Public Works office at Town Hall, 100 Pocono Road. Bring the permit when you go.

That leaves four open Saturdays: November 7, November 14, November 21, and December 5\. One Saturday to circle on the calendar: the center is closed on Saturday, November 28, the weekend after Thanksgiving.

December 5 is the last day of the season — the Saturday hours run April 11 through December 5 — so anything still sitting in the yard after that Saturday waits until spring. November is the crunch month, with leaves still coming down and the season's end in sight, so an early Saturday trip beats a last-minute one.

The rundown, for the fridge: open Saturdays are November 7, November 14, November 21, and December 5, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each time. November 28 is closed. The center sits on Pocono Road between Town Hall and the firehouse, and the free permit comes from the Public Works office at Town Hall, 100 Pocono Road. Questions about what the center takes go to HRRA at [info@hrra.org](mailto:info@hrra.org) or 203-775-4539.

The center is run in partnership with the Housatonic Resources Recovery Authority, the town's solid waste and recycling authority. For disposal questions, HRRA can be reached at [info@hrra.org](mailto:info@hrra.org) or 203-775-4539.
