Get your leaf & yard waste ready
Are you ready for some outdoor spring cleaning? Weekly leaf and yard waste collection begins April 24 and ends June 15. Remember to use Kraft paper bags designed for this material or open-top rigid containers without lids, with handles and marked leaf and yard waste.
You may notice something different about your utility bill
A s a growing city, Vaughan is prepared to address the challenges that come with a growing population and a changing climate that brings increased and more intense weather-related events — such as flooding due to stormwater. Starting in May, the stormwater charge will appear as a separate item on your utility bill. The fee is not new and is charged only once a year. The charge helps to ensure the environment, water quality and your property are protected.
Reminder: Highway 400 closed from Teston to King this Sunday morning
This Sunday, from midnight to 8 a.m., Highway 400 will be closed from Teston Road to King Road as the Ontario Ministry of Transportation rebuilds the King-Vaughan underpass bridge to accommodate the widening of Highway 400 from Major Mackenzie Drive to King Road. King-Vaughan Road is closed for the rest of the year between Weston Road and Jane Street to accommodate construction on the bridge.
