Leaf collection containers and sweeping routes

As in previous years, as a service to residents in 2025, the municipality is placing leaf baskets in several locations within its villages. The baskets will be placed in week 43 (October 20 to 24). There are no opportunities to expand the locations of the leaf boxes.

The leaf baskets are not intended for pruning waste or other materials. Pruning waste is processed differently than leaves. Separating them leads to higher costs. The municipality empties the baskets regularly. The leaf baskets will remain in place until there is no more nuisance from falling leaves.

Why leaf baskets?

Fallen leaves can be very valuable for the soil life in your garden. So it is certainly not the case that you have to bring all the leaves to the collection container. The containers are only intended for fallen leaves from greenery in your garden that you are inconvenienced by. It is also not necessary to clear municipal flowerbeds of leaves.

What can you do yourself?

(Too) much foliage in your street or area? Please report it to us using Report via Fixi. If necessary, the sweeper truck's route can then be adjusted or deployed additionally.

Here are a few tips to make sweeping leaves as quick and efficient as possible:

  • make sure the leaves are spread out and not in a large pile
  • Remove branches, as they get stuck in the sweeper's suction

Deployment of sweeper

Fallen leaves on municipal land are removed by the municipality with the street sweeper. During the autumn season, the street sweeper drives through the streets more often in places where there are many trees on municipal land. You can expect the street sweeper on fixed days in a village. Of course, the car cannot sweep all streets but will sweep where most leaves are. 

The sweeping schedule in the autumn period has been adjusted. Not all streets are swept. We sweep where necessary until there is no more nuisance as a result of leaf fall. Here too, we sweep leaves. Twigs cause blockages when sweeping. So no branches in the gutters.

Deployment of mowing-suction combination

In areas with extremely heavy leaf fall, a mowing and suction combination machine is used on certain routes.
