NORTH STORMONT, Ontario - A special collection for leaf and yard waste will begin April 12 for residents within village limits only. This special collection will continue within town limits until all the brush and debris is cleaned up. Please place your branches in piles that’s easily accessible for collection.
Please ensure piled brush is placed safely on the public right of way/road allowance and does not create a line of site or visual impediment for pedestrian or vehicular traffic. With the excessive amount of brush and debris to be collected, please be patient with our public works team and avoid tying up the phone lines as we will be patrolling and doing our best to get everything cleaned up in a timely manner.
The public can be proactive, and the township encourages residents to bring leaf and yard waste to GFL environmental free of charge with a proof of residency in North Stormont.
