Between October 1 and January 31 of each year, the City operates two programs for collecting fallen leaves:
- Unlimited Leaf Collection Program
- Leaf removal from City streets
Unlimited Leaf Collection Program
Beginning October 1 to January 31, the City collects unlimited quantities of leaves from Vancouver homes (every second week) as part of the yard trimmings collection program. Residents' guide to unlimited leaf collection
Leaf removal from City streets
City crews remove leaf from City streets on a scheduled basis between October and January.
As part of the leaf removal operation, crews will post temporary no parking signs on some City streets. Please move your vehicle to allow crews to clean the street thoroughly. Typically, crews will post signs to only one side of the street at a time. If your vehicle is not moved off the signed portion of the street it will be ticketed and towed.
Posted signs will also show the dates on when work will be carried out. Please do not sweep any materials onto the curb.
Please see the leaf removal map (1.64 MB,

Please check this page frequently for any updates about the program as the schedule is weather dependent and is subject to change. If you have any questions, check the FAQ section on questions regarding the Leaf Removal Programs.
