Leaf clearing tips

Wet and compacted leaves on sidewalks can create slip hazards for a variety of people. Please do your part by clearing the leaves that have fallen on the sidewalks adjacent to your property and ensure everyone can remain safe.

When clearing in front of your home or business, please ensure you do not sweep or blow leaves onto the street. Gather them up and place them inside your greens bin. If you have extra materials, fill up your cart first, then put any extra yard waste into kraft paper bags and place them 1 metre from your cart on greens collection day for pickup.

Don’t forget to keep those drainage grates clear as well to prevent flooding. Thank you!
