Leaf Collectors
What is it?
In the fall, leaves on the street cause inconvenience. We place leaf boxes in which you can collect the leaves. The city empties these baskets regularly. The leaves go with the other GFT waste to the compost plant.
How does it work?
Where is a leaf basket located?

There you will find both the large and small leaf baskets.
Important to know!
- Leaf baskets are for leaf litter only.
- Branches, trimmings or other yard waste do not belong in the baskets.
- The leaf waste collected is processed separately.
Our employees empty the leaf boxes weekly according to a set route. They also check that there is only leaf litter in them. If other waste regularly ends up in a basket (such as branches or garbage), it may unfortunately be necessary to remove the basket.
Relocation or removal of leaf boxes
Sometimes we need to temporarily move or remove a leaf basket, such as when:
- the hive is difficult for our vehicles to access;
- the basket is often used incorrectly;
- the basket is hardly used.
We will remove all leaf baskets again at the end of December. Once a basket is removed, leaf litter may no longer be deposited in that location.
