No One Wants to See Your Junk!
Did you know that illegal dumping is costing you more? The impacts of illegal dumping include the cost of staff time to remove the items and clean the area, the cost of the environment and the cost to EG’s spaces. If you have extra garbage to dispose of, purchase a bag tag from the Civic Centre (19000 Leslie Street) or Sports Complex (1914B Mount Albert Road) Customer Service desks during regular operating hours. Each household gets five FREE bag tags! Learn more at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/Dumping
