Autumn has arrived in Lethbridge, and with it, the city's annual Fall Leaf Collection program is now underway.
This free service provides a convenient way for residents to manage their seasonal yard cleanup.
To participate, you must schedule a pickup by calling the city's 3-1-1 line before the booking window closes on November 7.
Crews will be collecting bags from October 7 through November 14.
It is essential that leaves are placed in paper yard waste bags, as plastic bags will not be collected.
Bags should be set out at your normal collection spot 24 hours before your scheduled pickup day.
Each household can request up to two separate collections.
Residents can also use their green carts or take leaves directly to a city yard waste depot before they close for the season on November 16. Read More... |
