Residents should expect delays in lower priority tree cleanup, including parks, woodlots, open spaces and non-hazardous residential and commercial areas. Whenever possible, please avoid woodlots, trails, parks and open spaces until these areas have been fully addressed and any hazards removed. Caution should be taken when moving around these areas as ice and branches are still likely to fall.
Holiday Waste Collection Schedule:
Residents are reminded that collections in some zones are moved to one day later during the weeks of Dec. 24 and 31. For more information, including Christmas tree collection follow the holiday schedule banner on the City’s website homepage.
