The County of Simcoe’s curbside leaf and yard waste collection program will start on Oct. 2 in Zone 1 and Oct. 9 in Zone 2.
The program will be running bi-weekly into December with five collections per zone.
These bi-weekly collections include leaves, grass, branches (sized and bundled appropriately), and garden waste.
Residents are reminded to use kraft paper yard waste bags, compostable bags, or open-ended rigid containers when placing leaf and yard waste at the curb.
Materials for collection should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. The collection will occur during the week, not necessarily on the resident’s regular collection day.
To determine your collection zone and collection weeks, refer to the 2023 Waste Management Calendar.
The schedule is also available on the Simcoe County Collects App and is free to download from the App Store or Google Play.
Fall 2023 leaf and yard waste will be collected throughout the week in each zone.
