Great tips!

It’s important for everyone in town to protect our water supply! Please don’t rake leaves into the street or dump near ditches, streams, or near a body of water or wetland. Clear out storm drains to allow for proper drainage.

Where to Leave Your Leaves?

Option 1: Mulch
Use a lawn mower to chop up leaves to form a thin layer of mulch on the lawn. The leaves will gradually break down and enrich the soil.

Option 2: Compost
A compost pile full of food scraps and other “greens” will benefit from a valuable layer of brown leaves.

Option 3: Hire help
Hire a landscaping company to do a yard cleanup. They will remove leaves and dispose of them properly and legally.

Option 4: Dispose
Bag up leaves and take them to a site that has been registered with the Massachusetts DEP. Two local options are: Bridgewater Farm Supply (508-697-0357) and South Ridge Farm & Nursery (508-668-0401).

Option 5: Ignore. . .for now
Environmental tip: Leave the leaves alone until late spring to benefit small creatures and beneficial insects. Even setting aside part of the lawn for this reason is worthwhile.

Not an option: Leaves and yard waste cannot be put into the trash, burned in a fire pit, or left in catch basins, streams, or drainage swales!

Any questions, please contact Deputy Director Greg Swan at the Easton DPW at 508-230-0802.

The Town of Seekonk is pleased to announce that the outdoor water-use ban was lifted effective September 30, 2026. Residents may now resume outdoor watering without restrictions.

Yes, now that it’s October and your gardens are winding down, you may finally water whatever plants you have left! Regardless, after a long stretch of restrictions, we’re happy to officially say: the water ban is over.

Thank you to all Seekonk residents for your patience and cooperation throughout the ban, we appreciate it.
