The City of Calgary is getting set to help residents dispose of Fall waste.

Starting Friday, the Leaf and Pumpkin Composting Program will run at many locations across the city through November 10th.

Residents can drop off their Fall-waste at 36 locations, with the city recommending you use paper bags to help reduce land fill waste even further.

The program is only for leaves and pumpkins, not for rocks or soil.
