The city’s fall leaf bag collection will begin Monday, Oct. 7 and continue through Friday, Nov. 29, Bristol Public Works announced earlier this week.

The following guidelines apply:

• Leaf bags must be placed curbside and not within the residence’s property for proper collection.
• Loose leaf piles will not be collected.
• Leaves are only collected in brown, recyclable, paper leaf bags that are available at most home and garden stores.
• There is no maximum limit to leaf bag collection at a residence.
• Place bags at the curb as soon as they are full, as there is no specific pick-up day.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

• Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
