** Simcoe County ramps up brush collection to support residents following the recent ice storm. Click here for more information.
In response to the recent ice storm, the County of Simcoe is deploying brush collection services starting on Monday, April 7, 2025, prioritizing the most impacted areas of the region, particularly Oro-Medonte, Ramara and Severn, which are in a continued declared emergency. The County, along with its waste collection contractor Miller Waste, has secured additional trucks and labour to collect brush exclusively for the next three weeks, and potentially longer. Normally, Miller Waste operates 6-8 trucks for spring yard waste collection, but starting April 14, there will be 10-11 trucks collecting daily.
As collection ramps up, we will do everything we can to deploy crews to areas where they will be most effective and will service other impacted communities as quickly as possible. We anticipate that it will take time to reach all areas of the County.
Additionally, to support the cleanup process, County of Simcoe waste drop-off sites will be accepting brush debris, free of charge, until April 28. For more information on waste drop-off locations and hours, please click here. The County is working to extend operating days at some waste drop-off facilities and are looking to provide other temporary locations for brush drop-off. Updates will be communicated as soon as details are confirmed.
For the next three weeks, only brush will be accepted curbside, not bagged leaf and yard waste or bagged brush. Regular waste collection will also continue during this time. Please leave your carts at the curb until they are collected.
Residents must prepare brush for curbside collection by bundling and securing it with natural twine, ensuring bundles are no larger than 2 meters in length and 30 cm in diameter, with individual branches not exceeding 7 cm in diameter. Logs are not accepted, and bundles should weigh no more than 20 kilograms. |
