The City highly encourages residents to drop off their pumpkins and Jack-O’-Lanterns at the compost site. However, small to medium-sized pumpkins will be collected curbside during your regular garbage day the week of November 4. Pumpkins that have started to significantly deteriorate should be placed in a clear plastic bag or box. All pumpkins should be placed beside the garbage can.
Leaves may be put into the street 48-hours prior to your scheduled pick up.
• Must be in the street before 7:00 a.m. on your day
• Rake into windrows on street 2 feet away from the curb line • Do not park vehicles within 50 feet of windrows
• No bags or containers
• No sticks, twigs, or brush in the leaves • Equipment may work ahead of schedule
Please remember.....crews do their best to stay as close to the published schedule as possible. And although equipment does work ahead when possible, work will take place in the designated areas on the scheduled days. Likewise, equipment may break down or heavy rain or snow may also interfere with the pick up schedule. The compost site is open daily from sun up to sun down for your convenience.

In 2004 Mayor Milt Kramer and the Manchester City Council launched the “Nice Neighbor Award.” The award was established to recognize the spirit of compassion citizens of Manchester have for their neighbors and for other citizens in Manchester. The award offers a public forum to thank neighbors; even for the smallest things. Award winners are invited to a City Council meeting to be recognized and presented with a Nice Neighbor Plaque. Winners are also noted on the City’s website and in the City Newsletter.
