The County of Simcoe’s bi-weekly curbside Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Program is returning.
It began on April 8, in Zone One, and will run until the end of May 2024.
To determine your collection zone, please refer to the 2024 Waste Management Calendar on Simcoe.ca or the Simcoe County Collects app.
The app is free to download from the App Store or Google Play.
The program includes a collection of leaves, grass, branches (sized and bundled appropriately), and garden waste.
Residents are reminded to use kraft paper yard waste bags, cardboard boxes, or open-ended rigid containers to place out for collection.
Bi-weekly collections coincide with garbage collection weeks in each zone. Materials for collection should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on Monday of the collection week for each zone.
Collection will occur during the week, not necessarily on your regular collection day.
Spring 2024 yard waste will be collected throughout the week in each zone as follows:
Zone One
- April 8
- April 22
- May 6
- May 20
Zone Two
- April 15
- April 29
- May 13
- May 27
Additional leaf and yard waste collections will occur in July and during the fall program beginning in October.
