**********************
Spring leaf and yard waste collection will take place between Tuesday, May 31, and Friday, June 10, on your regular recycling day. Curbside collection of leaf and yard waste was delayed due to the late arrival of spring.

There is no item limit on leaf and yard waste, but items must weigh less than 18 kg or 40 lbs.
Leaf and yard waste materials are taken to the City of Thunder Bay Solid Waste & Recycling Facility and made into soil-enriching compost.
