Remote Leaf and Yard Waste Drop-Off Program Discontinued

The Township of Asphodel-Norwood is advising residents that the remote Leaf and Yard Waste Drop-Off Program has been discontinued.

Leaf and yard waste must no longer be left at the former drop-off locations at:

• Asphodel Heights Park;
• Westwood Fire Hall;
• McCarthy’s Point Park; or
• the Drysdale Road parking area.

The program was introduced in 2023 to assist rural residents who do not receive spring and fall curbside collection. However, the unmonitored locations were increasingly used beyond the program’s intended purpose, including for large and potentially commercial-sized loads. The program also required significant staff time and equipment and raised regulatory considerations associated with operating unmonitored satellite waste collection locations.

Leaf and yard waste is accepted from Township residents at the Asphodel-Norwood Transfer Station, located at 187 County Road 40, during regular operating hours, free of charge. 

The Township appreciates residents’ understanding and cooperation.
