Municipality to offer loose leaf pickup

Wellington North will offer a loose leaf clean up after Wellington County finishes picking up bagged leaves.

This is the first year that Wellington County has taken over the leaf pickup, and the first time Wellington North residents have been asked to bag their leaves. Most people are using the bags but some are still raking them to the curb.

Following the second bagged pick-up by the county at the end of November, Wellington North will clean up whatever loose leaves are still at the curb.
