Yard Waste and Composting

Yard waste collection begins in Lansing

LEAF & YARD WASTE

Good news! There will be TWO Leaf and Yard waste curbside collections this fall, four weeks apart. The first collection is between Oct. 7 and Oct. 17, on your regular recycling day. Clean up your yard in September – trim your trees and bushes, and bundle your brush. And for the second pickup, rake up all those leaves! There’s no collection limit, but bundles should be one metre or under, and all items must weigh less than 18 kg. | Thunder Bay Solid Waste & Recycling Services

The DKMM Solid Waste District also helps fund yard waste drop-off sites in each county. In Marion County, bring your yard waste to Outdoor Resource—it’s free for residents! 🌿 NOT here at the recycling drop off! | Marion County Recycling & Litter Prevention
