Leaf Collection Guidelines

Please have your loose-leaves raked and ready for pick-up before the start date for your collection area.

  • Leaves must be placed on the edge of the curb or along the shoulder. Do not place leaves over catch basins or in ditches. Leaves must be placed beside the road in order for city equipment to reach them.
  • Put leaves out for pick-up no earlier than five days before your collection date.
  • Leaves must be loose and free of debris or other materials such as branches and yard waste.
  • Leaves contaminated with branches, yard waste or debris, or leaves put out after the collection has taken place will not be collected and are the responsibility of the homeowner to remove.
  • Please avoid parking vehicles in front of loose-leaf piles on your collection date, as this interferes with the collection of leaves.
  • Bagged leaves are not collected as part of this program.

Bagged Leaves

In addition to the City of Burlington's Loose-Leaf Collection, you can still place your bagged leaves out with your yard waste on the same date as your garbage pick-up. For more information on Halton Region's yard waste collection, please refer to Halton Region's website at www.halton.ca or contact the region at 905-825-6000.
