Yard Waste Curbside Collection

Residents get three curbside collection opportunities in the fall. Yard waste and leaves can be placed on the terrace, which is the grassy space between the sidewalk and the curb. If no terrace is available, it can be placed at the road edge or in the driveway apron. Click here for more information.

That's all for now. 

Take care and stay safe,
