Summer Mosquito Control Underway
Throughout the summer until August 31, contractors will be spraying Town spaces like parks and trails to limit mosquitoes and to make these spaces more enjoyable for all. For tips on managing mosquitoes at home, visit www.eastgwillimbury.ca/mosquito
Have you tried Grasscycling?
In EG, grass clippings are not collected at the curb. Consider grasscycling: recycling grass clippings by leaving them on the lawn after mowing which:
- Reduces the need to water the lawn as often and the need for fertilizer
- Holds moisture and adds nitrogen
- Prevents the growth of thatch
- Saves money, time and effort
Limited quantities of grass clippings can be dropped off at the Bloomington Rd. Yard Waste Depot (1351 Bloomington Rd., Richmond Hill). Fees apply.
Notice of Earthworks
Beginning in late June, Tricap Properties will be conducting earthworks on the property located on the southwest corner of the 2nd Concession and Mount Albert Road. Work will include the installation of a silt fence, construction of a temporary sedimentation control pond, and construction activities to support servicing.
Construction on Kennedy Road
Kennedy Road will be closed from Mount Albert Road to Doane Road from July 4 to October 3, 2023 for a bridge replacement. Work will occur on weekdays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Learn more at www.york.ca/RoadConstruction
