Note: The collection schedules are now based on your recycling pickup date not your voting ward.
Leaf collections start in April and again in October. Please follow these simple rules:
- LEAVES IN PLASTIC BAGS, preferably clear bags, will be collected from curbside.
- Do not secure or tie the top of the bag. Untied bags can be emptied more quickly.
- All your bagged leaves must be at curbside on Monday before 6:30 a.m. of your designated week. The truck will pick up only once sometime that week.
- After the collection period for your area, bagged or loose leaves must be brought to the Recycling Center (located on Church Road, East of No. Bay Avenue), between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
- We encourage backyard leaf composting and the use of mulching lawn mowers.
