Grass Clippings Collection Reminder

In East Gwillimbury, grass clippings are not collected at the curb with waste collection or York Region waste centres. Residents are asked to consider grasscycling (recycling grass clippings by leaving them on the lawn after mowing) at home to keep your lawn healthy during the summer. Limited quantities of grass clippings can be dropped off at the Bloomington Road Yard Waste Depot located at 1351 Bloomington Road, Richmond Hill. Fees apply or are subject to change.

•  1 yard or 9 paper bags is $10
•  More than 1 yard $65/tonne

Here are some tips to keep in mind when grasscycling:

• Lawnmower blades must be sharp. Dull blades can cause grass to become discoloured, which may lead to disease on your lawn
• Grass clippings retain water and help reduce the need to water your lawn
• Saves time on having to dispose of your grass clippings
• Grass clippings can act as a natural fertilizer for your lawn
