Leaf Bag Drop off and Pickup Service

Autumn leaves are a valuable resource. During the pilot, Capital Scraps Composting will take your leaf contributions and add them to their community food waste composting systems. The food and leaf waste are turned into nutrient rich soil amendment, which is then donated back to community gardens, schools and contributing members.


For the Leaf Collective Pilot, a Leaf Collection Bag Drop off (2 x 900lt reusable leaf bags) and Pick up Service has been established at a discounted cost of $25 per service. Regular price $35 per service.


Offer is available to Ainslie residents only. Read the full Terms and Conditions here.
