It’s time to do some fall cleaning!
Vernon’s fall clear bag leaf pick-up program will take place November 6 – 10, 2023. Emterra Environmental will provide curbside collection of leaves to coincide with regular collection days. In order to take part in the program, residents are reminded to use clear plastic bags.
City of Vernon residents may put out an unlimited number of clear bags filled with leaves before 7:00 a.m. on their designated day, at the same location as their regular waste collection.
Please keep the following in mind:
In addition to the clear bag pick-up program, residents may also place leaves and other yard waste in their green-lidded organics carts for weekly collection. Please remember:
As you tidy the yard and collect leaves, the City also reminds residents to avoid raking material into the street as this can block storm drains and cause operational issues for street sweepers. For further information or to report missed pick-ups of clear bags during the designated dates, please visit www.vernon.ca/leaf-pickup or call 250-549-6757.
