Yes. You can mix leaves and branches in a dedicated Brush & Yard Waste bin in Angus, as long as the entire load is clean yard debris.
That means you can combine:
Leaves
Branches
Brush
Shrubs
Hedge trimmings
Small limbs
Grass clippings
Garden waste
Other clean plant material
The key rule is simple:
If it grew in your yard, it generally belongs in a Brush & Yard Waste bin. If it came from inside your home, a construction site, or a driveway excavation, sort it separately.
This guide explains exactly how to sort and load your Angus yard waste bin, which size to choose, how pricing works, and when a regular household and construction bin is the better option.
Quick Answer: Can Leaves and Branches Go Together?
Yes, if you book a Brush & Yard Waste bin.
A rented brush bin is designed for mixed outdoor plant material. You do not need a separate bin for leaves and branches if both materials are clean and free of contamination.
Use this simple if/then guide:
If you have leaves, branches, brush, shrubs, and grass only, book a 14-yard or 20-yard Brush & Yard Waste bin.
If you are also throwing out furniture, garbage, drywall, flooring, or renovation debris, book a Household & Construction Waste bin.
If you are removing soil, concrete, or asphalt, book the 8-yard specialty bin.
If your load includes multiple waste categories, separate the materials before booking or contact Tor Bin Rental for help.
What Can You Put in an Angus Yard Waste Bin?
Accepted materials
Load your Brush & Yard Waste bin with clean, non-hazardous plant material such as:
✅ Leaves
✅ Tree branches and trimmings
✅ Brush and small limbs
✅ Shrubs and hedge cuttings
✅ Grass clippings
✅ Garden waste
✅ Weeds and plants
✅ Small pieces of natural wood from yard trimming
✅ Seasonal yard cleanup debris
Leaves and branches can go into the same bin. In fact, mixing them can help you use the space more efficiently.
Place bulky branches at the bottom. Use leaves and smaller plant material to fill the gaps around them.
Keep these materials out
⚠️ Do not place the following items in a Brush & Yard Waste bin:
Household garbage
Furniture or mattresses
Appliances
Electronics
Tires
Paint, oil, chemicals, or batteries
Drywall or insulation
Carpet or flooring
Roofing shingles
Plastic bags or packaging
Soil, sand, rocks, or rubble
Concrete or asphalt
Construction and renovation debris
Pressure-treated or painted wood
Large stumps or oversized root balls unless approved in advance
Do not use plastic bags to contain your leaves unless Tor Bin Rental confirms they are acceptable for your specific disposal arrangement. Clean plant material is easier to process when it is loose.

Which Bin Size Should You Choose?
Use the material volume as your starting point.
Choose the 14-yard bin if:
You are clearing one average-sized yard.
You are trimming a moderate number of trees.
You are removing one hedge or several shrubs.
Your branches can be cut down and stacked below the top rail.
You have a medium amount of leaves and grass.
Choose the 20-yard bin if:
You are clearing several trees.
You are removing a large hedge.
You are cleaning up a wooded lot.
You have a full-property yard cleanup.
You expect a large volume of bulky branches.
You do not want to compress the load or risk running out of room.
If you are between sizes, choose the larger bin. Branches take up space quickly, especially when they are not cut down.
When Is a Regular Household Bin Better?
A regular Household & Construction Waste bin is better when your yard cleanup includes non-yard materials.
Choose a regular bin if you are combining yard debris with:
Old patio furniture
Broken fencing
A shed teardown
Garage junk
Basement clutter
Drywall
Flooring
Renovation debris
General household garbage
Construction material
For example:
If you are only removing branches and leaves, choose Brush & Yard Waste.
If you are removing branches, an old shed, and household junk, choose Household & Construction Waste.
If you are removing a concrete patio and tree branches, separate the loads and book the correct category for each material.
Do not contaminate a clean yard waste load with household or construction debris. If you are unsure, compare your project against this bin rental guide for choosing the right waste category.

Review the Angus service area page or the complete service area list if you are booking from Angus or a nearby community such as Alliston, Everett, or Lisle.
3. Loading
Load the bin in layers.
Place thicker branches and heavier brush on the bottom.
Cut long branches into manageable lengths.
Stack branches in the same direction where possible.
Add leaves, grass, and smaller trimmings around the branches.
Break down bulky shrubs to reduce air pockets.
Distribute the load evenly from end to end.
Keep everything below the top rim.
⚠️ DO NOT OVERFILL THE BIN.
Nothing should hang over the sides. Do not create a pile above the top rail. An overfilled bin may not be safe or legal to transport.
Wear gloves, sturdy footwear, and eye protection when handling branches. Check for wire, metal, hidden nails, and sharp broken limbs before loading.
4. Pickup
When your cleanup is finished, keep the area around the bin clear.
Remove:
Tools
Tarps
Vehicles
Trailers
Loose debris around the bin
Low-hanging obstacles
Need the bin gone early? Request pickup. Need more time? Ask about an extension. Tor Bin Rental offers flexible 3-day, 7-day, and monthly rental terms, subject to availability.
What About Angus Curbside Yard Waste?
A rented commercial Brush & Yard Waste bin is different from municipal curbside collection.
For curbside collection in the County of Simcoe:
Leaves and loose yard waste should be placed in approved paper bags, cardboard boxes, or open rigid containers.
Brush must be bundled with natural twine.
Individual branches should not exceed 7 cm in diameter.
Bundles should be no larger than 2 metres long and 30 cm in diameter.
Yard waste should not go in the green cart.
For a large cleanup, a rented bin is usually faster and more convenient than waiting for multiple collection cycles. You can load everything in one place and have it picked up when the project is complete.
Final Answer
Yes, you can mix leaves and branches in an Angus Brush & Yard Waste bin.
Keep the load clean. Cut branches down. Place heavy brush at the bottom. Add leaves and smaller debris around it. Keep the material below the top rim.
Choose:
14-yard or 20-yard Brush & Yard Waste: clean leaves, branches, brush, and plant material
Household & Construction bin: mixed yard debris, junk, renovation, or construction waste
8-yard specialty bin: soil, concrete, or asphalt only
