The leaves are coming down in Littleton, and there is a better place for them than the trash. The city’s official YouTube channel has a video on the subject, titled ‘Captain Littleton: Leaf Recycling,’ and this year’s drop-off dates are set.
We have not described the video beyond its title, and we could not confirm when it was made, so dates or details in it may be from an earlier year. This year’s information below comes from the city’s current pages.
