In response to the recent ice storm, the Township of Uxbridge is committed to assisting residents with storm cleanup efforts. Crews will be deployed to support tree debris removal in affected areas.

Once it is safe to do so, all properties in the Township of Uxbridge, with properties of 2 acres or less, may place ice-storm-related tree debris at the roadside for collection. The Township will be picking up, chipping, and removing debris over the coming weeks with assistance from local contractors. Collection will begin Monday, April 7th, and the deadline to have debris at the roadside is April 13th.

To ensure a smooth collection process, residents must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Only ice-storm-related tree debris will be collected. No inorganic material will be accepted.
  • Branches must be no larger than 4 inches in diameter and must be placed with the butt end facing the roadway.
  • The Township will not access private property for debris collection.
  • Excessive amounts of debris beyond what is deemed reasonable may not be collected.
  • Keep ditches clear of debris to prevent flooding and ensure proper drainage.
  • Place debris a safe distance from roads to avoid traffic hazards.
  • All locations, both urban and rural, will be serviced the same way.

For those wishing to drop off tree debris, the Scugog Waste Management Facility (1623 Reach Street, Port Perry) will be open for free debris disposal. Residents are encouraged to use this option where possible.

Additionally, please be aware that another weather event, possibly including freezing rain, is expected on Wednesday April 2nd. Residents should remain cautious and prepare accordingly.

Additionally, the Region of Durham has posted information regarding how to include any ice storm tree debris as part of your regular garden waste collection beginning the week of April 2nd. For more information visit Durham.ca/waste.

We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as we work on clean-up efforts. Please continue to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel in affected areas.
