Fall branch collection for Niagara Region starts on Monday, Nov. 2 and continues through to Nov. 27.
The collection service applies to all Niagara Region residents living in single-family homes and apartments with six units or less.
Branches can be left curbside for pick-up or dropped off at one of the region’s waste and recycling drop-off depots. This is available year-round and free of charge. Other types of yard waste can also be dropped off at these locations.
