The City of Colwood provides a unique and convenient Branch Drop Off Program free for Colwood residents.

This program helps keep the yards in our city looking tidy and healthy while diverting materials from the landfill. It also replaces backyard burning, which improves our air quality, protects our natural environment, and creates a healthier community. 

The Public Works Yard is open for branch drop off on the first and third Saturday of December, January and February from 8:30am to 4:00pm (and then every Saturday from March through November). Our location is just below City Hall at 3300 Wishart Road.

Acceptable material includes branches (maximum diameter 4”), grass clippings and leaves. When preparing your load to bring to the yard, it would be appreciated if you could separate leaves from branches and grass clippings.
