Leaf and yard waste public drop-off is now open for the season at 112 Patton Street. Please note that the drop-off area has been relocated within the property. Residents are now asked to place their bags in the large bays located at the back of the site. To help keep things running smoothly, please place bags as far back in the bay as possible. This helps maximize space and reduce the need for frequent pickups. Refer to the map for the updated drop-off location on site.
