In the fall, the City of Mississauga provides a vacuum leaf pickup service on streets that are more than 35 years old and have many large mature trees.
You can check the leaf pickup route map and schedule to find out if your street is part of the program. If your street is part of the program, you will also get a postcard in the mail that will let you know when the leaves will be picked up in your area.
Double check your pickup schedule – it may have changed!
The City has improved the leaf pickup schedule this year based on typical leaf drop patterns and feedback from the community. You may notice that your leaves are scheduled to be picked up earlier or later this fall than they were last year. The City has made this change to align with when the leaves on your street are likely to fall and are ready to be picked up.
Preparing for leaf pickup
If your area is listed for leaf pickup, please support our crews by doing the following:
* Place your leaves in a loose pile at the edge of your boulevard or in your ditch a day or two before the start of your pickup week. Do not rake leaves onto the road.
* Keep curbside storm drains clear of leaves to prevent flooding.
* Remove parked cars and sports equipment from your street during your pickup week.
* Do not mix items like wood, brick or brush with your leaves. This can damage equipment and injure workers.
* Do not place garbage bins or bags on top of loose leaf piles.

Mississauga outlines its response to American tariffs
During today’s General Committee meeting, City staff provided an update to Council regarding Mississauga’s response to the U.S. tariffs, including more information on the economic impact on Mississauga’s local economy and changes to the City’s procurement processes. Mississauga’s response comes after the U.S. imposed tariffs on Canada. In retaliation, the Government of Canada has imposed 25 per cent counter-tariffs on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods and implemented immediate tariffs on goods worth $30 billion, with the remainder to be implemented within 21 days.
