2024 Waste Calendar
Check your mailboxes this week for East Gwillimbury’s 2024 Waste Calendar in a new format! This year's waste calendar is an easy to follow single-page document instead of the traditional flip calendar. This new calendar supports Council’s priority of environmental sustainability by using less paper and ink to reduce the environmental impact. The new calendar highlights the entire year on one page, allowing residents to reference weekly and seasonal changes to their services quickly.

As part of the roll out of the calendar, Council approved five free bag tags for all residents. To pick up your free tags, visit our Customer Service desks as the Civic Centre or Sports Complex or either library location. To view the calendar online, please visit www.eastgwillimbury.ca/waste

Holiday Parking Enforcement Exemption
The Town is implementing a new holiday parking enforcement exemption! During December 24 to January 1, the Town will not ticket vehicles parked for more than three consecutive hours or between 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. During the busy holiday season, this allows gatherings without having to apply for the parking consideration form. The exemption will not be in effect when there is a forecasted storm or winter event that requires winter maintenance operations. The Town will post when this exemption has been lifted on social media and the Town’s website. For details on significant snow events and to subscribe to our website for updates visit www.eastgwillimbury.ca/snowclearing

Winter Parking Reminders
When snow is in the forecast, remember these winter parking rules/tips:

• Do not push snow onto roads
• Do not park on roads from 2 to 6 a.m.
• Remember that during a snow storm, parking consideration forms are not valid and vehicles must be off the road or they may be ticketed or towed
• Do not let your car overhang onto roads or sidewalks when plows are out
• When clearing driveways ensure snow is placed on lawn and does not block sidewalks

If the Town declares a significant weather event, where you can not park on the roads, it will be posted at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/parking. You can sign up for email notifications on that page, to stay up to date.
