Heavy leaf-fall sweeping program
Selected streets across Boroondara receive an enhanced sweeping service over the autumn and early winter. The 2013 Heavy leaf-fall sweeping program is now available.
Help Council keep your street clean by:
- keeping your vehicles off the street on the designated sweeping day
- asking people who leave their vehicles parked in the street to participate in the program
- making sure leaves are free of sticks, branches and rocks, as they will damage the machinery.
Note: Leaves from your front yard are not for collection by the street sweeper.
Excess leaves on the nature strip and footpath can be mulched using a lawn mower and placed in compost - visit our Environment pages for composting tips and hints.
