Branch Collection

Starting this week, the branch collection service will resume for the 2024 season.

Branch collection takes place every two weeks on Tuesdays from mid-April to mid-November (weather permitting)

(November 5)

IMPORTANT – Occasionally, collection dates may vary due to urgent work by Public Works employees.

To ensure that branches are collected, it is IMPORTANT to follow the following rules of use:

Branches must be grouped and piled no higher than 1.2 metres (4 feet) and no wider than 4 metres (13.2 feet) from the curb;
Branches must not exceed 2.4 metres (8 feet) in length;
Branches must not be tied;
Branches must be placed on your property, about 1 metre from the curb and in rows with the cut ends facing the street (away from poison ivy plants);
They must not exceed 7.5 cm (three inches) in diameter. This service is only available for branches from light pruning work or as a result of a storm.

What will not be collected?

Thorny branches (e.g. hawthorn, rose bushes, etc.) that could cause injury;
