Yard waste collection has begun in Leamington. Yard waste will be collected every week for the urban area of the municipality through to November 27, 2020. To determine your weekly yard waste collection day, please consult the collection maps located in your 2020 Collection Calendar.
Yard waste will only be collected in cardboard boxes, paper yard waste bags or garbage cans/pails. Plastic bags will not be accepted.
Yard waste includes garden waste, grass clippings, tree/hedge trimmings and leaves:
- Garden waste includes flowers, vegetables, plants, fruit and leaves.
- Grass clippings - try grasscycling and leave grass clippings to decompose on your lawn after mowing. If you place grass clippings out for collection, place in cardboard boxes, paper yard waste bags or garbage cans/pails.
- Tree and hedge trimmings must be tied in bundles with a maximum length of 4 ft. and maximum diameter of 2 ft.
Leamington residents are asked to follow the physical distancing recommendations of health officials and stay at least 2 metres away from garbage, yard waste and recycling workers.
