When preparing your yard and garden for spring, keep in mind the upcoming unlimited yard waste collection weeks on March 29 to April 2, and April 26 to 30.

During the unlimited yard waste collection period, please:
- Place yard waste at your usual collection point by 7:00 a.m. on your regular garbage day.
- Use kraft paper bags or reusable containers marked as “yard waste”.
- Bundle branches using string or twine, and ensure the prunings are no more than 3 feet in length, 3 inches in diameter and 50 pounds in weight.
- If your additional yard waste is not collected, please leave it at your collection point as a second truck may be required to pick it up.
- Please leave a minimum of 3ft/1m of space between carts and additional yard waste.
- Yard waste contained in plastic bags will not be accepted.
- Dog waste and dog waste bags are not accepted in yard waste
