BURLINGTON, ON
This crew will probably not be clearing the leaves from your property.
A loose leaf collection service is provided to Burlington residents in the fall of each year. This program is in addition to the yard waste collection service provided by Halton Region.
Please follow the guidelines below to help ensure a timely and cost-effective leaf collection program:
You can print this out and put it on the fridge.
Have your loose leaves raked and ready for pickup just prior to the start date for your collection area.
Be mindful of collection dates and avoid raking leaves to the road too early.
Place leaves up to the edge of the curb or roadway (but not on the road) in a loose pile so city equipment can reach them.
Ensure loose leaves are not covering catch basins or in the ditches in front of your home.
Make sure leaves do not contain branches or other debris. Leaves mixed with other waste cannot be collected.
Avoid placing leaves on sidewalks and walkways.
Remove basketball nets, parked vehicles and other obstructions from the road to allow city crews clear access to leaf piles.
Do not place garbage bags, garbage bins, Blue Boxes or GreenCarts on top of loose-leaf piles.
