Help keep Vaughan squeaky clean
Proper waste-disposal etiquette makes a difference
As the snow melts away for the season, it’s much easier to notice litter and debris left on City streets, sidewalks and in parks. The City of Vaughan encourages you to help keep Vaughan clean by properly sorting your waste items in the correct bins and disposing of them on the appropriate collection days.
Proper blue-box etiquette also makes a difference.

Change your smoke and CO alarm batteries when you turn your clocks ahead
It’s that time of year when we lose one hour of sleep to gain one hour of sunshine. When you’re turning your clocks an hour forward, be sure to also change the batteries in both your carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke alarms.
