NEWS RELEASE
COUNTY OF SIMCOE
**************************
MIDHURST – The County of Simcoe’s bi-weekly curbside leaf and yard waste collection program returns Monday, Oct. 7 starting in Zone One and will run until December, with each zone receiving five bi-weekly collections during this time period.
To determine your collection zone, please refer to the 2024 Waste Management Calendar, simcoe.ca/waste, or the Simcoe County Collects mobile app, which is free to download from Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
The leaf and yard waste collection program program includes collection of leaves, grass, branches (sized and bundled appropriately), and garden waste. Residents are reminded to use kraft paper yard waste bags, cardboard boxes, or open-ended rigid containers to place out for collection.
Bi-weekly leaf and yard waste collection will coincide with garbage collection weeks in each zone. Materials for collection should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on Monday of the collection week for each zone, regardless of what day garbage is collected. Collection will occur during the week, but not necessarily on residents’ regular collection day.
Fall 2024 leaf and yard waste will be collected throughout the week in each zone as follows:
Zone 1 Zone 2
Oct. 7 Oct. 14
Oct. 21 Oct. 28
Nov. 4 Nov. 11
Nov. 18 Nov. 25
