Water it right!
Know when to water your lawn to help conserve this precious resource
With the summer sun and heat in full force, you may want to water your lawn or garden more often – but did you know the City of Vaughan restricts water use from May 15 to Sept. 30 to support the environment and conserve this precious resource? It’s crucial for everyone to work together to manage water use by following designated watering dates and times, especially during warm temperatures when water demand is at its peak.
Recycle it right!
Sort your waste properly to reduce your environmental impact
Did you know that not all plastics can go in the blue bin, even if they have the recycling symbol on the product or packaging? Recycling properly makes a big difference, and it’s everyone’s shared responsibility to the environment to reduce the number of items sent to the landfill.
Remain vigilant, take precautions and stay safe
The City urges citizens to continue following all COVID-19 directives
