Collection continues today

Vaughan has seen a lot of heavy snowfall lately, and our waste collection crews continue to work through the thick of it to pick up your materials as quickly as possible. But there are a few things you can do that will make collection easier for everyone:

Ensure snow, ice and debris aren’t blocking them

Everyone depends on Vaughan’s essential water and stormwater infrastructure – no matter the weather. That’s why we need your help this winter to ensure snow, ice and debris – such as litter – are never covering or blocking catch basins or fire hydrants.

Keep fire hydrants clear and accessible

Know the risks and be prepared 

While you might be spending more time inside during the colder months, it’s still important to keep winter safety top of mind. That’s why Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) is sharing essential tips to keep you – and your home – safe throughout the snowy season. 

Here are five things to remember:
