Neighborhood street paving program

Paving update: Continental Paving continues work on the Neighborhood Street Paving program.  This week they cold planed the ends of Bog Road and started base paving all of the driveways. Next week they will be re-setting curb and rebuilding the sidewalks behind the curb and start raising manhole covers from Fisherville Road to Cabernet Drive in preparation for final paving in the next couple of weeks. The road is closed to through traffic from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from Fisherville Road to River Road. They will also start lowering the manholes and catch basins on Ridge Road in preparation of reclaiming in the next couple of weeks.

Contracted long line striping started: The City’s contractor, Hi-Way Safety Systems Inc., continued painting the double yellow and fog lines this week. They lost 2 days due to some personnel problems, but they are scheduled to come in next week and hopefully finish the work, weather permitting.

Spring leaf collection

The City of Concord’s Spring Leaf Collection started on Monday, April 20, 2020. Concord residents with curbside trash and recycling collection can participate by placing leaves in biodegradable yard waste bags (no plastic bags) or rigid containers labeled “leaves.” Leaves must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled trash collection day.

Leaves raked loosely to the curb are only collected during Fall Leaf Collection. Only leaves that are bagged (no plastic bags) or contained in a rigid container will be collected.

Spring leaf collection will continue in coordination with trash collection through Saturday, May 30, 2020. The last week of collection will be delayed by one day with no trash or leaf collection on Monday, May 25 due to the Memorial Day holiday.

Unacceptable items, including plastic bags, will not be collected.

Residents can also bring leaves to Earth Materials Recycling Center. Drop-off is free with proof of residency if the load is smaller than a non-commercial pick-up truck. Residents will be required to empty contents at the facility to confirm that loads are 100% free of any unacceptable materials. Any container, bag, or miscellaneous item used to transport leaves to the recycling center must be taken back with the resident. Gelinas Excavation & Earth Materials Recycling Center’s hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays 8 a.m. to Noon through May 30 (with the exception of Memorial Day weekend when the facility will be closed for the holiday).

Hours are weather dependent and are subject to change. Please call ahead to confirm specific drop-off times at 545-4835 or visit their website. Visit concordnh.gov/leafcollection for more information.
