If you've done yard work over these last few weeks, you've likely built up a mound of loose leaves. The Town of Oakville's 2021 spring loose-leaf collection begins today. Here is the schedule outlining dates and zones:
- April 26-30: Zones 1, 2, 3, and 7
- May 3-7: Zones 4, 5, 6, and 8
Zones A, B, C do not receive pick-ups during the spring loose-leaf program.
Bagged Leaf Program
Halton Region collects bagged leaves, a separate program from the Town of Oakville's loose-leaf collection program. Call 311 or visit the Halton Region website for more information on your waste collection schedule.
COVID-19 information
The loose-leaf program is being implemented following provincial guidelines, and should policies change; this program may be affected. Residents are encouraged to take full advantage of earlier program collection times and Halton’s bagged yard waste collection service.
Collection guidelines
- Collection may occur any time during a scheduled week. To ensure your leaves are collected, put them out by 7 a.m. on the first day of collection in your zone.
- To help keep leaves from blowing around your neighbourhood, please do not put out leaves more than seven days before the first day of a scheduled week for your zone.
- Place all loose leaves on the boulevard or on the shoulder, not over catch basins, in bicycle lanes or in the ditches in front of your house.
- Ensure leaves are free of garbage or other yard waste materials such as brush, branches, large twigs or stones.
- Please keep leaf piles separate from any woody debris, including large twigs, brush and branches. Crews will not collect contaminated piles of leaves put out after the pickup dates.
