News Alert – County of Simcoe Brush Collection Requests Now Open

With continued response to clean up the immense amount of brush caused by the ice storm that hit parts of our region in March, the County of Simcoe is providing another increased service to support our residents and communities.

Starting Friday, May 9, 2025, and up until Friday, May 23, residents across the County (outside of the highly impacted areas*) can submit requests for brush pickup from specific addresses, with collections commencing on Tuesday, May 20. It is important that residents place all brush material curbside by Monday, May 19 to ensure collection as timing of collection may vary; however, materials will be collected. Please note that this service is not available to residents of Barrie and Orillia.

Who should request collection

• Use this interactive map to check if your address falls into one of the highly impacted areas in Ramara, Oro-Medonte and Severn to determine whether you should submit a request or not.
• Residents located outside of Ramara, Oro-Medonte and Severn are asked to submit a request by May 19 to ensure collection.
• Residents located within one of the highly impacted areas DO NOT need to make a request. Crews will return to these hardest hit areas automatically for one final collection after May 19. Over the past month, crews have been prioritizing these communities through continued brush collection.
