The County of Simcoe’s bi-weekly curbside leaf and yard waste collection program returns, beginning Monday, Oct. 6.
Leaf and yard waste should be placed by the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week.
This includes leaves, grass, garden waste, and branches that are sized and bundled appropriately.
Residents are reminded to use kraft paper yard waste bags, cardboard boxes, or open-ended rigid containers to place out for collection. Brush should be bundled with natural twine, maximum two metres long and 30 cm in diameter.
Battery Collection
Battery collection will occur during battery collection week, beginning Monday, Nov. 3.
Residents should use their designated battery bag. If you don’t have a battery bag or need more space, battery bags can be picked up at all County waste facilities. You can also use a large, clear resealable bag.
During battery collection week, place battery bags on top of your cart – not inside it.
Acceptable items include dry cell, single-use batteries such as standard A, AA, C, D, 9-volt, and button batteries.
