Spring

Keep grass and weeds on your front lawn, back lawn and boulevard shorter than 8 inches (20.32 cm).

The Town maintains grass and planting at city parks and other public areas.

Summer

No parking on residential streets throughout the year from 2 to 6 a.m. unless you have an on-street parking exception from the Town.

The Town maintains roadways and provides a parking exception if you need to park on the street for more than five hours or overnight between the hours of 2 and 6 a.m.

Fall

Collect and bag fallen leaves, while keeping catch basins (storm drain on side of road) clear of leaves to avoid flooding.

Halton Region collects yard waste (leaves, yard trimmings, bundled brush, etc.) from the first week of April to mid-December on the same day as garbage collection, in urban areas only. Learn more at halton.ca/waste.

Winter

Clear snow and ice from your home’s sidewalks, driveways and windrow (pile of snow left by the plows) without putting snow on the road.

The Town plows roads as well as sidewalks and pathways associated with schools, transit stops and major pedestrian travel. The Town offers a windrow removal program for seniors and persons with disabilities.
