Leaf and Yard Waste

The Town of St. Marys offers three options for disposing of leaf and yard waste: curbside collection, the Municipal Operations Centre drop-off depot and the St. Marys landfill. 

Curbside leaf and yard waste collection 

Leaf and yard waste is picked up on select Mondays from the last week of April to mid-November. Dates for leaf and yard waste collection and a collection map are available below.

Collection requirements

Leaf and yard waste must be set at the curb by 7:00 am on collection days. Only kraft-style brown paper leaf and yard waste bags or reusable containers (weighing less than 22 kg) will be accepted.

Leaf and yard waste that is set out in  plastic bags (even those considered biodegradable) or raked into piles on the boulevard or street will not be collected.

Acceptable and unacceptable materials
