To help residents during spring clean-up, the County of Simcoe is opening several waste drop-off facilities on extra days for brush only.
All facilities will maintain their regular hours of operation – 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – and will be open on their usual days.
New brush drop-off locations will also be temporarily opened to support areas that experienced significant damage during a recent ice storm.
On the additional opening days, only brush will be accepted free of charge. It can be any size but the County will not accept root balls.
The County will continue to monitor the need for additional clean-up days and may adjust or add additional days of operation.
The severe and ongoing effects of the ice storm have been felt by thousands of people across Simcoe County, including many of the staff of County facilities.
