Loose-leaf pickup: one week per zone

The city collects loose leaves zone by zone in November, with one pickup week per zone. Rake them into a loose pile at the edge of the curb no more than two days before your week, and check your zone's week on the city's leaf collection page.

Home care

Three things to do before the first hard freeze

Shut off and drain outdoor taps, clean the gutters once the leaves are down, and book a furnace check if it's been more than a year. Each one prevents a costly repair later.

Neighbourhood of the month

Orchard: prices up 4.2% in a year

Orchard's typical home price reached $934,500 in October, the biggest one-year gain of any Burlington neighbourhood with regular sales. Homes there sold at 99% of asking in the spring.
