Leaf Collection Program Continues

Loose leaf collection has begun and will run through November 24.

This year every Tillsonburg resident will enjoy seven (7) weeks of curbside leaf collection. No more zones. No more rushing to get your leaves raked for a certain week. No more fretting about uncooperative weather.

Simply rake or place your leaves at the curb or edge of the street at any time during the collection period and we’ll do the rest! Please do not cover storm grates or clog roadside ditches.

Sanitary sewer flushing will occur in areas south of Concession Street West and west of Rolph Street until the end of November.
