Last two yard waste pickups for 2013

There are only two  yard waste pickups left this year and they will happen these next two weeks.

• Tuesday, November 19 and
• Tuesday, November 26

These will be the final pickups for the winter season, starting up again in Spring 2014. Take advantage of these days to clear your yard and deck of all the fallen leaves and trimmed branches. Watch here for April startup dates.

Make sure to use open containers or paper yard waste bags if you want your yard waste to be collected.

Tag Exemption this week and next

Garbage/waste pickup is one day later this week because of the Victoria Day holiday on Monday. It is also the annual 2-week Garbage Tag Exemption period that follows Victoria Day in Missisauga and Peel. Therefore, this Wednesday, May 22, you can put out unlimited bags of garbage. See the Region of Peel Waste Management Guide 2013/2014 for details. If you have misplaced the copy of the Guide that was delivered to your door, you can find it all online at www.peelregion.ca/waste.

Pickup reverts to Tuesday next week for this area.

Our next exemption days will be after Labour Day in September.

Happy Easter!
