Loose Lea

2022 LOOSE LEAF COLLECTION

Residents can take advantage of all the available leaf collection and disposal options during the Fall Season: Curbside Collection, Public Works Drop Off Days, Dufferin County Yard Waste Program, Mulching, Composting and Leaving the leaves.

Curbside collection

Curbside collection is provided only to resident in older neighbourhoods on streets with mature boulevard trees (trees on the road allowance – near the roadway). Residents are required to use Dufferin County’s Yard Waste Program for small amounts of leaves and for leaves generated on Private Property.

2022 Collection period starts October 24, 2022 and ends November 18, 2022. Collection schedule will vary by Zone. Check your date before you rake! Be sure to have your loose leaves out for 7:00am of the date listed on your Zone.

Schedule

October 24 – November 18, 2022

Zone 1

(North of Main Street, West of Owen Sound St.): Thursdays – October 27, November 03, November 10, November 17, 2022

Zone 2

(North of Main Street, East of Owen Sound St.): Tuesdays – October 25, November 01, November 08, November 15, 2022

Zone 3

(South of Main St.): Tuesdays – October 25, November 01, November 08, November 15, 2022

All dates are weather dependent.

Guidelines

  • Do not place, push or pile any leaves on the roadway or over catchbasins. This is a safety hazard. Leaves should be placed on the boulevard a day or two before the start of your collection week. This will keep leaves from blowing around your neighbourhood.
  • Please make sure leaves do not contain branches or other debris. Leaves mixed with other waste will not be collected.
  • Please remove all obstructions, i.e., parked vehicles, sports equipment, basketball nets, etc., for easy access to your leaf piles.
  • Leaves placed on the boulevard after collection date will not be picked up if staff have already completed your street.
  • The same trucks that collect leaves are the same trucks that clear the snow throughout Town. If there is snow or freezing weather conditions the dates could be delayed and/or the program will end.
  • Town staff will only collect the leaves that have fallen at the time of your scheduled collection dates, all other leaves will be the resident’s responsibility.

Public Works Drop Off Days

Bring your loose leaves (bulk or bagged) to the Shelburne Transfer Yard at 601 Victoria Street between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM on the following dates for free disposal:

Saturday October 22, 2022
Friday October 28, 2022
Saturday November 12, 2022
Friday November 18, 2022

Bringing your loose leaves to one or more of our events will ensure the leaves do not blow back onto your property.

Dufferin County Bi-weekly Yard Waste Program

Dufferin County Yard Waste Program is carried out bi-weekly until the week of November 21, 2022. For a full schedule please see the Dufferin County Waste Guide or visit: https://dufferincounty.ca/waste-services/yard-waste.

Collection starts on Monday at 7a.m. and continues throughout the week until the area is completed. Please note that your yard waste collection may not be the same day as your regular collection day. 

Mulching, Composting or Leaving Your Leaves

These are the most economical and environmentally beneficial method to get rid of loose leaves. It also relieves you from the frustration of finding time for yard work to match collection schedules, either due to tree leaves not dropping or missing the pickup window.

Collected leaves can be slowly added to your home compost. They break down into useful organic material that can be added to home gardening projects. Leaves, although bulky when first raked, will compost well over winter. Make sure the leaves are moist. It also helps to mix in some fruit and vegetable scraps.

Try mulching leaves with a lawn mower or other device to reduce the volume of the leaf pile for home storage or composting. Also simply mowing your leaves, in a dry condition, on your lawn adds organic material directly to your lawn.

Missed Curbside Collection?

Any remaining leaves or if you have missed the Town’s pick-up—leaves should be:

  • brought to the Shelburne Transfer Yard on the Drop Off Days.
  • bagged for Dufferin County’s Yard Waste bi-weekly pick-up.
  • brought to Dufferin Transfer & Recycling located at 473051 Dufferin County Road 11, Orangeville, ON L9W 5L7.
  • mulched, compost, or left in gardens, flower beds or in your yard.
