After a few weeks of yard waste collection being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city has announced that it will be resuming service, albeit somewhat differently for now.

City workers will collect leaf and yard waste bi-weekly in alternating parts of the city starting Monday, April 20.

“The bi-weekly rotation will continue until late June, or longer if required,” the city said on Friday.

Beginning the week of April 20, waste will be collected from homes in the communities of Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek. Beginning the week of April 27, waste will be collected from homes on the Hamilton mountain and across the lower city.

Residents are asked to ensure their leaf and yard waste is at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Monday during the week of their pick up.

City crews will pick up the bags or containers by the weekend.

“Residents are asked to please be patient with crews as we work to ensure leaf and yard waste collection can continue,” the city said.

Yard waste collection was temporarily suspended to help keep the city’s workers safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
