Today’s severe weather, reduced visibility and poor road conditions have made waste collections unsafe. All collections have been cancelled for the day. Since today’s Tuesday collection route also had collection impacts last week, we will be returning to the area on Saturday (January 11th) to complete collections. This cancellation affects all collection areas today in Tiny, Tay, Midland, Penetanguishene, Severn and Ramara.
Collection crews will be reasonable in applying collection limits both Saturday January 11th (due to the previous misses) and on Tuesday January 14th (since some locations may not be informed of the Saturday collection).
Impacts to waste collection services will be communicated to the public through messaging on simcoe.ca as well as social media. We will update the information as needed once we have more clarity on the areas that may not be able to be serviced today. Residents can contact Customer Service at 1-800-263-3199 or info@simcoe.ca or follow Customer Service on twitter via @simcoecountyCS for additional information if required.
