November 18, 2015   ·   0 Comments

Peel Region has advised that curbside yard waste collection in Caledon will be ending next Friday (Nov. 27).
It will resume in the spring.
During the final week, yard waste will be picked up regular collection days.
Residents are asked to follow these steps when putting yard waste at the curb for collection: Place yard waste in paper yard waste bags, bushel baskets, or labelled, open, rigid and reusable containers; set out yard waste and recyclable material on the opposite side of the driveway from garbage, if possible; tie brush securely in bundles of up to 1.2 metres (four feet) in length and 76 centimetres (30 inches) in width; ensure brush, tree trimmings, limbs and branches are 10 centimetres (four inches) or less in diameter; and ensure yard waste containers and bundles do not exceed 20 kilograms (44 pounds) each.
Leaves, garden trimmings, plants, grass clippings, twigs, branches and lawn edging (earth removed) can be set out as yard waste. Corn stalks and other fruits and vegetables from the garden should be placed in backyard composters, yard waste containers or green bins for organics recycling.
Do not use plastic bags, cardboard boxes or recycling boxes for yard waste.
Do not include sod, soil, stumps or stones with yard waste. Take stumps, soil, sod and excess yard waste to any of Peel’s Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) for disposal. Drop-off fees apply.
