Leaf collection/leaf sweeping schedule

The municipality is placing leaf baskets this fall in places where leaves fall heavily. In it you can collect leaves from municipal trees. In addition, several streets will be swept.

Do you have a lot of leaves and branches in your own garden?

If so, put it in your green container or bring it to the Environment and Green Waste Transfer Point for free.

Leaf sweeping schedule 2024

In several villages/streets, leaves are swept off the roads in the fall. The leaf sweeping schedule tells you when to expect the sweeper truck in your village.

Do you have a lot of leaves and branches in your own garden? Then put them in your green container or bring them to the Environmental Facility for free. Do not throw your own leaves and branches on the street: they clog up the sweeping trucks and cause unnecessary delays. Sweeping takes place at the following times:
