The municipality has historically provided seasonal leaf and weekly tree branch collection services to residents within the town of Souris, however changes to the tax structure and increasing costs have made it no longer feasible to provide this service.  After careful consideration, Council is discontinuing the seasonal leaf and weekly tree branch services in urban areas, effective July 15, 2025. 

There will be one last pick up day on Friday, July 11.  Public Works employees will pick up compostable yard waste – no branches over 1” in diameter or more than 3 feet long.  NO TREE TRUNKS.  Leaves and other compostable materials should be placed in biodegradable bags.

Please have items ready for pick up at the curb prior to 8AM on Friday, July 11.
