The seasonal yard waste pick-up program has begun!

Between May and October weekly collection of yard waste also takes place on your designated collection day.

Whether you are landscaping, building a new fence or deck, or simply planting a garden, disturbing the ground on your property can cause damage to a buried utility. Some utilities are buried mere centimetres below the surface.

Use our new Utility Locates Request Form to have any buried utilities identified and marked prior to excavation.

Submit your Locate Request online here.
