All leaf and yard waste are accepted with no quantity limit. All individual bags or containers must not exceed 22 kg (50 lbs). Brush can be tied in bundles weighing not more than the same weight with a length of up to 1 m (3 ft) and a diameter of up to 30.5 cm (12 in).

The City says green waste should be put out after 6 p.m. the night before or no later than 7 a.m. the morning of your regular waste collection. 

Place in paper yard waste bags, bushel baskets or garbage bins with yellow "Green Waste" labels. Plastic bags are not accepted. 

The City urges everyone to not rake fallen leaves on the road since they can clog storm drains and create slippery conditions.
