Fraud Warning From the Region of Peel

It has been brought to the attention of Peel's Waste Management staff that resident households in parts of the Region of Peel have received a  flyer indicating that as part of the Ontario Bin Transponder Initiative, residents need to purchase a transponder tag for their waste carts by visiting a website .  

This initiative is unknown to the Region of Peel and is not endorsed - nor required - for any waste collection carts.  

Residents are strongly advised not to process any online transactions as a result of this flyer, or provide any personal or financial information on the website.

City Maintenance in Applewood Hills
 
City contracted crews will be working to remove Ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Applewood Hills.  Crews will be working Monday to Friday from 8 am. to 5 pm to remove trees around the perimeter of the woodlot which could be within distance of resident's  private property and along pathways.  All works will be weather permitting.
 
Forestry is currently working on plans to replant woodlots.  Each woodlot is unique and will require additional work to create individual plans for each site.  For some, that may mean letting them regenerate naturally while others will have trees planted.
