"Leaf It With Us" depots will be operating October 1 to November 15. (CHRISD.CA)
Need to get rid of the thousands of leaves in your yard? The City of Winnipeg is opening its annual “Leaf It With Us” depots beginning Friday at several locations throughout the city.
Dropped off leaves and yard waste will be recycled into a soil-like material to be used in landscaping finished landfill areas.
The depots will be open seven days a week from October 1 to November 15, weather permitting.
The depots accept bagged leaves, lawn thatch, grass clippings, plants, flowers and other garden material. Tree clippings, small branches (no more than 100 millimetres in diameter) must be bundled and tied.
