Margaret, Audrey, Jane & Claire Streets – Current Status

Sewer separation work is progressing along Margaret, Audrey, Jane, and Claire Streets.
These streets will be hard-surfaced for the winter months to ensure safe and manageable access.

The Municipality of Leamington thanks residents and businesses for their continued patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure project progresses.

Due to ongoing construction activity in the area, the Municipality of Leamington will not be able to collect leaves by vacuum truck on Margaret, Audrey, Jane, and Claire Streets this season.

Residents in these areas are asked to bag fallen leaves for pick-up on their regular yard waste collection dates.

Please ensure leaves are placed in an acceptable yard waste container such as paper yard waste bags, reusable bins, or compostable containers. Plastic bags will not be accepted.

Urban yard waste collection runs until November 28, 2025.

The Municipality apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks residents for their patience and cooperation during the ongoing construction work.
