The Town of Carleton Place’s fall curbside leaf collection runs from November 3 to 14, 2025. Bags must be at the curb by 7 a.m., weigh under 15 kilograms, and be in paper bags—plastic bags will not be collected.
Residents can also drop off leaf and yard waste at the Compost Yard, 1 Bates Drive, every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. until November 15, weather permitting. After that, the Compost Yard will close for the season and reopen in spring 2026.
Public Works is asking residents to be patient during the busy collection period as crews manage a high volume of bags. Officials remind residents that leaving materials at the Compost Yard gates when closed is considered illegal dumping and is not allowed.
