Door-to-door collection of garden waste has still not resumed, and an announcement from the City will be made when it will start again for the year. For the time being, it is forbidden to place garden waste street side. A reminder that it is also strictly prohibitedto dispose of green waste, or any other type of waste, in public garbage cans or on public spaces (streets, alleys, sidewalks, parks, green spaces, etc.) under penalty of fines.
