Special Basement Flooding Pickup Planned and Regular Yard Waste Collection Reminder
The City of Windsor is reminding residents that regular yard waste collection days are quickly approaching, just in time to help with some of the cleanup of downed branches from last week’s storms.
“Given the recent storms occurred just before the upcoming regular yard waste collection cycle, we are reminding residents to put out any storm-related branches in the upcoming yard waste collection cycle,” said Environmental Services Manager Jim Leether. “The City will also continue to monitor and assess the need for any further pickups as necessary.”
The following are the upcoming regular dates and zones for yard waste collection:
- Wednesday, September 6: Zone 1B
- Thursday, September 7: Zone 2B
- Friday, September 8: Zone 3B
- Saturday, September 9: Zone 4B
- Tuesday September 12: Zone 1A
- Wednesday, September 13: Zone 2A
- Thursday, September 14: Zone 3A
- Friday, September 15: Zone 4A
Important: Only yard waste properly packaged in the following manner will be collected:
- Residents are reminded to place yard waste at the curb prior to 6 a.m. on their collection day
- Yard waste must be placed in an acceptable yard waste container, such as paper yard waste bags, garbage cans, cardboard boxes or roll-out carts; the weight of each item must not be more than 45 pounds/20 kilograms
- Branches must be 3 inches/7.6 centimetres in diameter or smaller, cut to 4 feet/1.2 metres in length and bundled. Please do not use wire to tie the bundles, and please do not use plastic bags.
