Garbage 

Effective September 29, 2008, the County of Simcoe launched the curbside organics collection program.  This is another step towards greater waste reduction and diversion.  County Council approved a 1 bag or container of garbage per house per week.  A garbage tag system for additional waste can be purchased at a cost of $2.00 per tag.  Tags are only for household garbage, and not for bulky items or yard waste.  Let's continue working together for the greater good of Simcoe County and our environment.
