Leaf and yard waste collection is ongoing this summer, and we want to ensure you have an easy breezy collection day! Keep the following tips top of mind:

1. Set waste materials out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on your collection day.

If you have hired a landscaper or yard cleanup service, ensure they are aware of the correct collection set-out times.

Let’s work together to keep Vaughan clean

It’s summer, and many people in Vaughan are embracing the great outdoors! When you’re out and about enjoying the city’s many parks and open spaces, say NO to littering and dumping. Let’s all work together to keep our neighbourhoods safe, clean and beautiful. 

We’re in peak summer heat, which means water demand is at an all-time high. If you’re watering your lawn, plants or garden, remember the City of Vaughan’s Water By-law 106-2022 (PDF) limits outdoor water use annually from May 15 until Sept. 30. We want to ensure an uninterrupted supply of water for everyone – and help you save money on your water bills!
