Branch collection
In order to avoid landfill, the Village of Senneville makes special collections for branches. These branches are shredded and ground into chips. The chips are available free of charge to the citizens of Senneville.
What is the 2023 branch collection schedule?
The official branch collection takes place on Tuesdays every two weeks from mid-April to mid-November (weather permitting).
(April 11 – April 25 – May 9 – May 23 – June 6 – June 20 – July 4 – July 18 – August 1 – August 15 – August 29 – September 12 – September 26 – October 10 – October 24 – November 7)
IMPORTANT – Occasionally, collection days may vary depending on the urgent tasks required by the Public Works employees.
How to place the branches?
To ensure that the branches are collected, it is IMPORTANT to follow the following rules of use:
- Branches must be grouped and stacked to a height not exceeding 1.2 metres (4 feet) and a length not exceeding 4 metres (13.2 feet);
- Branches must not be tied;
- Branches must be placed on your property approximately 1 metre from the edge of the road and in small piles with the trimmed edge facing towards the road (away from poison ivy plants);
- Branches must not exceed 7.5 cm (three inches) in diameter as this service is intended only to handle branches from minor pruning or from storm damage. Any pruning or tree felling performed by private contractors will not be collected.
What will not be picked up?
- Tangled branches;
- Thorny branches (e.g. hawthorn, rose bushes…) that can cause injury;
- Tree residue from pruning or felling by private contractors will not be collected;
- Small scrapings
- Roots, stumps and foreign objects such as plastic and metal, are not accepted;
- Noncomplying branches will not be collected, as a result, a notice explaining areas of non-conformity will be left in the mailbox for future reference.
