- 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.
- To help keep leaves from blowing around your neighbourhood, please do not put out leaves more than seven days before the first day of a scheduled week 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.
- Please keep leaf piles separate and away from any woody debris including large twigs, brush and branches, rocks, pumpkins, garbage and vehicles. Contaminated piles of leaves that have been put out will not be collected and/or piles that have been put out after the collection dates will not be picked up. They should be placed in paper yard waste bags for Halton Region 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.
