Not all leaves have to be removed from the garden. Leaving leaves in the garden is good for animals, insects and soil quality. In the autumn we remove the leaves from the streets and bicycle paths. You can also place your own leaf on the road (not on the cycle path).

There are important reasons to leave leaves in your garden:

  • Hedgehogs, insects and other garden animals hibernate among the leaves
  • Leaves are food for worms, insects and many micro-organisms. These animals provide a better soil
  • Protects plants from frost
  • Leaves are converted into nutrients for the soil and ensure that the soil retains water better
  • Leaves are the basis of compost

Leaf on grass or tiles

Leaves on the lawn and in your walkway or driveway should not be left behind. The lawn can suffocate under the leaves and walkways can become slippery when it rains. Leaves on your tiles or lawn can be collected in a corner of the garden or in a compost bin and left to decompose into compost. You can use the compost later in the garden to improve the soil.

Putting leaves on the road

Garden leaves may be placed on the road according to the schedule. The municipality collects these leaves in the fall, along with the leaves swept from streets and bike paths. Please note: do not place leaves on the bike path. The schedule below shows exactly when your street is due.
