LEAVES COLLECTION

The leaf collection is scheduled every Friday from October 28 to November 25. 2021 . An additional collection is scheduled for the spring,  May 5, 2021.

Important: The dead leaves must be placed in paper bags only. Plastic bags are no longer authorized (even biodegradable plastic bags). The paper bags containing dead leaves must be placed at the curb starting at 7 p.m. the day before collection, or no later than 7 a.m. the morning of collection.

Three ways of disposing of dead leaves:

  1. Leaves must be stacked  in paper bags for yard waste  and deposited at the curb starting at 7 p.m. the day before leaf collection, or no later than 7 a.m. on the morning of collection.
  2. The City also encourages its citizens to  use their brown bin  to dispose of dead leaves and other green residues such as excess grass, roots, plants, small branches, shavings, conifer needle bark. Please note! Do not fill the brown bin with soil or potting soil, as this would make it too heavy and damage it during mechanical collection.
  3. Citizens may  practice leaf cycling (feuillicyclage) . Learn more about this method, which consists of mowing dead leaves and leaving them on the ground rather than raking them : https://www.recyc-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/citoyens/matieres-organiques/herbicyclage
