Curbside waste collection in Simcoe County will run on its regular schedule on Remembrance Day, but all County waste drop-off locations will be closed.
The County of Simcoe says there will be no changes to curbside pickup on Wednesday, Nov. 11, even though it is a statutory holiday observance. All County waste drop-off locations will be closed for the day, with operations resuming on Thursday, Nov. 12.
Residents who normally take household waste, recycling or other materials to a County drop-off facility will need to plan around the one-day closure. Anyone whose usual routine includes a Wednesday trip to a drop-off site can either hold their materials until Thursday or set them out at the curb if their collection day falls on Nov. 11.
The County is encouraging residents to stay on top of their collection schedules by downloading the Simcoe County Collects app or by visiting simcoe.ca/waste.
The announcement does not apply to the cities of Barrie and Orillia, which handle their own waste collection separately from the County system. Residents in those cities should check with their own municipal waste programs for any holiday schedule details.
Curbside collection for the rest of the County — including communities such as Innisfil, Bradford and Collingwood — proceeds as normal, according to the County of Simcoe.
