Fall leaf and yard Waste collection begins next week in Norfolk County. As a reminder, residents should avoid raking or blowing leaves onto the street or a neighbouring property to remain compliant with County bylaws.
Leaves can clog sewer drains, create slippery sidewalks and roadways, and hinder street sweeper operations.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the final weeks of the leaf and yard waste curbside pickup, which begins on October 21 and continues until the week of November 25.
Leaf and Yard Waste collection occurs in the urban areas of Long Point, Simcoe, Port Dover, Langton, Port Rowan, Turkey Point, Vittoria, St. Williams, Courtland, Delhi, and Waterford on residents’ regular collection day.
Leaf and yard waste should be placed in brown paper leaf bags and left curbside on waste collection day. Please note that leaves in plastic bags will not be collected.
Residents may also consider mulching leaves directly into their lawns or composting. Alternatively, leaf and yard waste material can be brought in yard waste bags or loose in a trailer to the transfer stations in Simcoe and South Walsingham free of charge.
