As of April 1, 2019, leaf and yard waste – including grass clippings – is no longer accepted in your green bin.
You will now place all leaf and yard waste in a brown paper bag or in an open top rigid reusable container identified with a leaf and yard waste sticker. Please note that the sticker is not required, but assists with clearly marking the container. If you do not have a sticker and would like one, they can be picked up at your local Municipal Centre, 4280 Binbrook Rd, next to the arena.
The reason for the changes is that yard waste can be recycled differently as a compost and for this reason you will now see a separate truck picking up yard waste. It is important that you do not put a lid on your yard waste container, the top must be open so the drivers can clearly see the content.
