Leaf Collection Guidelines – Dos and Don’ts

Do
• Place leaves on the edge of the curb in a loose pile
• Put leaves close to the road (but not on it), so city equipment can reach them
• Put out leaves no earlier than five days before the collection start date
• Make sure the piles contain only leaves (and not other yard waste)
• Remove basketball nets, hockey nets, etc... from the road side as these obstruct leaf collection 

Don’t
• Don’t mix yard waste, branches, plants, or other debris with leaves. Piles mixed with other waste will not be collected
• Don’t put out loose leaves after collection has taken place. They will not be collected
• Don’t place garbage bags, bagged leaves, bins, Blue Boxes or GreenCarts on top of loose leaf piles
• Don’t park vehicles in front of leaf piles during collection dates
• Don't place leaves on sidewalks or walkways

 
Yard Waste Collection

While the city collects loose leaves, Halton Region picks up other yard waste, such as sticks, twigs, bagged leaves, decorative cornstalks, garden trimmings and pumpkins. This service takes place every other week, on the same day as your garbage collection. The Region asks that you use paper yard waste bags or open, reusable rigid containers labeled “YARD WASTE.” Yard waste in cardboard boxes, Blue Boxes, GreenCarts or plastic bags will not be collected. For more information from Halton Region, visit www.halton.ca or call 905-825-6000
