Did you know... you can bring leaf and yard waste directly to any landfill site for composting year round during regular operating hours? Composting this material means that it is kept out of the landfill and put to better use; while working to achieve the City’s target diversion rate of 60%.
Including leaf and yard waste with regular curbside pick-ups is not permitted under the City’s By-Law 2007-024 and will not be collected outside of the designated leaf and yard collection days.
