Leafcycling and Grasscycling
These ecological practices involve mowing or shredding fallen leaves and leaving grass clippings in place during mowing so they decompose into the soil. Leaves and grass are natural fertilizers for your yard and flower beds.
To learn more about, consult our Leafcycling and Grasscycling webpages.

Branch Collection
Please note that the collection is currently taking longer than usual due to high volumes.
Branches must be placed at the curb no later than October 31 to be picked up during the final collection of the season. No request is required for this service.
