I have decided to take an opportunity and retire early from the Town Of Suffield. My last day as a full time employee will be October 4, 2019.
The Suffield Landfill will be open for extended hours this fall on six consecutive Sundays for leaf disposal only. No other items will be accepted during that time. The Sunday hours will be from noon to 4 p.m. starting on October 13 thru November 17. Leaves are also accepted throughout the year during the landfill’s regular hours on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The landfill is the only public location in town for leaf disposal. If you have any questions please contact Kevin Pepka at 860-668-3837 or the Public Works Office at 860-668-3890.
The November 5 Municipal Election will be held in the Middle School Gymnasium, 350 Mountain Road, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Board of Selectmen created an Environmental and Sustainability Task Force which held its first meeting July 29 and will be meeting every month to advance such initiatives as beautification, education, environmental protection, recycling and waste reduction.

Endorsement of candidates for municipal offices were made by major political parties sometime between July 16 and July 23. Notice of the dates were published at least five days prior. Municipal offices that will be on the November 5 election ballot are: First Selectman, Selectmen, Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, Tax Collector, Board of Finance, Board of Education, Board of Assessment Appeals, Planning and Zoning Commission, Police Commission, Fire Commission and Water Pollution Control. Who is eligible to vote in town committees, caucuses, conventions and primaries? Only registered voters enrolled in the political party holding the town committee, caucus, convention or primary are eligible to vote.
The winning ticket is #3052 and the winner of the all-new 2019 Dodge RAM 1500 truck is Suffield resident Greg Honey. Greg purchased his ticket earlier this summer at the Suffield Farmers Market. The raffle drawing was held Sunday, September 8, during Suffield on the Green, the annual town fair. The truck raffle was conceived of by the Suffield 350th Anniversary Committee to help offset the costs of more than 30 events, programs and projects being planned for the commemoration of Suffield’s big birthday in October 2020. Joe Artioli of Artioli Chrysler Dodge RAM provided the truck which has been displayed around town throughout the summer.
