    Midhurst/April 16, 2025 – The County of Simcoe reminds residents of the following schedule changes during the Easter holiday from Friday, April 18, 2025, to Monday, April 21, 2025. 

    Regular Curbside Waste Collection (Carts) 

    ·         Waste Collection is ongoing as there is no change to the County’s waste collection schedule. 

    Waste Drop-off Facilities 

    To further support residents, waste drop-off facilities and temporary brush drop-off facilities will have extended operating days over the Easter long weekend. Many of our locations will be open on Friday, Saturday and Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; however, some sites will only be collecting brush during these revised hours of operation. 

    To determine Easter Weekend Hours and the types of materials being accepted at each site:

    A reminder that brush drop-off related to the ice-storm is free of charge until the end of May for all County residents and contractors. Utilizing these expanded drop-off sites is the quickest way to clean up your property. Hours of operation may change.
