At Peel Teaching Garden we advocate composting what you use and being self sustaining, however, if you generate more than you can use or don't have the space to compost the city does offer yard waste pick up services.


Yard waste is collected weekly on your scheduled waste collection day during the months of April, May, June, October and November. During the months of July, August and September, yard waste is collected every other week, beginning July 5 and ending Sept. 30, 2010.

Refer to the map and colour of shading in your collection area. Your yard waste collection weeks for the summer months are marked in the same colour on the calendar below.
