As of Friday April 25th, the use of third-party tree contractors hired to help with the ice storm clean up along municipal roads has concluded. Moving forward, the Township’s Public Works crews will complete the tree clean up over the next few months. The clean up will only occur in the areas that have yet to be picked up and were previously identified.
All tree debris in the areas that have already been picked up, must either be placed at the curb in accordance with Durham Waste leaf and yard waste guidelines or brought to the waste depot. More information on yard waste guidelines and waste depot hours of operation are found at Durham Waste
Burn Permits
