Find autumn bulk leaf collection days

We collect autumn leaves along selected streets in the City of Boroondara from April to July. We select these streets based on the size, species, and number of trees on the streets.

Our autumn bulk leaf collection starts at a different time each year, depending on when different species of trees drop their leaves.

This service replaces regular residential street sweeping from April to June, with both services running in July. You can find out more about our regular street sweeping on our Find your street sweeping days page.

Find your autumn leaf street sweeping dates

Our autumn leaf street sweeping collection dates are set each year depending on weather patterns and when the leaves begin to fall. This is done based on inspections of our streets to assess when the optimal time will be to begin collections so that we can collect the leaves during the peak period where leaves fall.

Please note: all autumn leaf street sweeping dates for 2023 have passed. When the 2024 dates are confirmed, you will be able to search your address on this page and find out the dates relevant to your property.

How you can help us with leaf collection

  • Avoid parking on the street on your sweeping days.
  • If you can't move your vehicle, you can help by sweeping leaves from under parked vehicles the night before. Please remove any sticks, branches and rocks as they will damage the machinery.
  • Don't rake or blow grass clippings or leaves onto the road after the sweeper has passed by.

We don't sweep or collect leaves from your garden.

Leaves from your garden and any leftover leaves can be:

  • put in your food organics and garden organics (FOGO) bin
  • composted.
