  • Collection may occur any time during a scheduled week. To ensure your leaves are collected, put them out by 7 a.m. on the first day of collection in your zone.
  • Help keep leaves from blowing around your neighbourhood! Put out leaves no more than seven days ahead of the scheduled pickup day for your zone.
  • Place all loose leaves on the boulevard or on the shoulder to ensure traffic on the road/bike lanes can pass safely.
  • Do not place leaves over catch basins/storm drains, in bicycle lanes or in the ditches in front of your house. If there are leaves blocking a catch basin/storm drain, please clear them away.
  • Ensure leaves are free of garbage or other yard waste materials such as brush, branches, large twigs or stones.
  • Contaminated piles of leaves or leaves put out after the pickup dates will not be collected. Homeowners are responsible for removing uncollected leaves or bagging them for Halton Region yard waste collection.
  • Once the street has been collected, we will not return until the next scheduled pick-up.
  • Entrance roads and/or the cul-de-sac may be completed separately and on different days during collection week due to the various types of equipment used.
  • There are areas where the program is not offered since the number of mature trees does not warrant the bulk leaf pickup service. We assess these areas on a regular basis to review if they should be added to the program.
