PSA: City expands waste collection service in response to COVID-19
Image
Additional Double-Up Days starting week of March 24
With more people staying home and practicing social distancing
as a result of COVID-19, the City of Vaughan is expanding its waste collection
services to assist residents that may have additional garbage at this time.
During
the weeks of March 24 or March 31, Double-Up Days will be offered on regular
collection days, allowing up to six items of garbage to be put out without
tags. Previously scheduled Double-Up Days during the weeks of April 7 or April
14 will continue.
The
City asks that large or bulky items, such as furniture, be held and not placed
outside for pick-up to help collectors manage the additional garbage volumes.
To
assist in prioritizing this essential service, leaf and yard waste collection
will be deferred until the week of May 19.
Continue to check vaughan.ca/waste and vaughan.ca/COVID19 for updates and changes to service
levels and schedules.
