Attention leaf blowers! Sometimes friendly reminders make all the difference!
The Municipality of Mississippi Mills advises that the Roads and Public Works team are out cleaning up leaves in the community.
You can help keep things running smoothly by avoiding raking or blowing leaves onto roads, into gutters, or into catch basins—this helps prevent blockages and keeps our streets safe and clean.
Loose leaves in public spaces can block drains and cause flooding, create slippery hazards for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, and make it harder for crews to keep neighbourhoods safe and clean.
The Almonte Ward Curbside Leaf and Yard Waste Collection runs from November 18th–20th.
Elsewhere, the Howie Road Depot closes November 1st, while the Pakenham Depot is open year-round.
