Leaf and Yard Waste
Notice: Leaf and Yard Waste collection for 2020 has concluded, and the schedule is avaliable at:
2021 Leaf and Yard Waste Calendar
The City of Sault Ste. Marie provides bi-weekly collection of leaf and yard waste, which is processed into compost. There is no bag limit for leaf and yard waste.
Leaf and yard waste consists of leaves, grass clippings, and garden waste. These are the only items which will be accepted for collection. All animal waste and branches must be removed. Only biodegradable paper bags will be accepted. Please note: the landfill does accept brush, branches, trees and wood at the designated brush dump area.
All leaf and yard waste must be placed curbside before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Rural residents outside the Fourth Line and Allen's Side Road boundaries may call 705-759-5201 to arrange for individual collection of leaf and yard waste during the scheduled months.
Lemieux Composting, located at 764 Black Road, will accept leaf and yard waste free of charge when you empty your bags at their site.
