The city’s leaf event means a drive to Englewood

Littleton partners with Englewood on a Fall Leaf Collection Event, held off site at A1 Organics in Englewood rather than anywhere in Littleton. It is open to Littleton and Englewood residents and it is cheap, but it asks a fair bit of you.

The city event

  • You drive the load to Englewood
  • Plastic bags must be emptied by hand, and you take the empty bags home
  • Brown paper bags only, with no tape, twine or branches inside
  • Leaves only for the leaf rate. Mix in limbs, grass or soil and the load is charged at the standard yard waste rate of $16 per cubic yard
  • Proof of residency, and only on the event dates

Junk Same Day

  • Junk Same Day comes to your address in Littleton
  • Bags go in the truck as they are, plastic or paper
  • No sorting, no tape or twine rules
  • Leaves, limbs, grass, soil and shrubs all in one load at one price
  • Any day of the week, usually same or next day

The 2026 dates and fee were not published yet when this page was written. Check the city’s own Fall Leaf Collection Event page for this year’s dates, hours and price before you load the car. We would rather send you there than print a date that has moved.

How much does leaf pickup cost in Littleton?

Starts at $149. What you pay depends on how much room the load takes up and how far we carry it. Leaves are heavier than they look and the tip charges by weight, which is why yard waste sits above our $99 single item minimum.

Job Price
A few bags of leaves or a small branch pile $149 to $249
Bagged or loose leaves, bigger clear-out $149 to $299
Multiple piles, shrub removal, fence sections $249 to $399
Full truck load, whole-yard cleanup $349 to $499

Text a photo and a firm number comes back, usually in minutes. Nothing moves until you say yes, and the price covers hauling and disposal. Matches our yard debris cleanup rates, with no extra for the run down to Littleton.

What we load

  • Bags of leaves, paper or plastic, bags taken away with them
  • Loose piles, raked or straight off the grass
  • Limbs, brush and hedge prunings
  • Grass clippings and soil, which the leaf rate at the city event will not cover
  • Shrubs, root balls, dead planters and pumpkins
  • Fence panels and storm debris from a windy week

Littleton leaf questions

Where can I drop off leaves in Littleton?Not in Littleton itself. The city’s Fall Leaf Collection Event is held at A1 Organics in Englewood, shared with Englewood residents. Check the city’s page for this year’s dates and fee, as they are set each autumn.
Can I take leaves in plastic bags to the city event?Only if you empty them there. Plastic bags have to be tipped out and carried home again. Brown paper bags are accepted, as long as there is no tape, twine or branches in them. We take bags of either kind as they are.
Does Littleton collect leaves from the curb?No. There is no curbside leaf collection in Littleton. It is either the drop-off event, your own hauler’s yard waste service if you have one, or a private pickup from Junk Same Day.
What if my pile has branches and grass mixed in?That is fine with us, one load and one price. At the city event mixed loads lose the cheap leaf rate and get charged by the cubic yard instead.
Can you come this week?Usually the same day if you ring in the morning, otherwise the next day. Autumn is our busiest run of the year, so earlier is better.
