Loose Leaf Collection Guidelines

• Place all loose leaves on the boulevard or on the shoulder, not over catch basins or in the ditches in front of your house.
• Make sure leaves are free of garbage or other yard waste materials.
• Put leaves out no earlier than seven days before the first day of your pickup and no later than 7 a.m. on the first day of collection in your zone.
• Remove contaminated piles of leaves or leaves that have been put out after the collection dates.

This is a separate program from the Town of Oakville’s loose leaf collection service. Call 311 or visit the Halton Region website for more information on curbside collection schedules.
