Leaf and Yard Waste Collection resumes throughout July in Simcoe County

Midhurst/July 2, 2025 – The County of Simcoe’s bi-weekly curbside Leaf and Yard Waste Collection program returns Monday, July 7. Place material out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your garbage collection week. Each resident will receive two bi-weekly collections during this time period, ending the last week of July.

Residents are asked to place leaf and yard waste out at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. Collection may occur any day during the week, so please be patient and leave your leaf and yard waste curbside as it may not be collected on your garbage day.
