The County of Simcoe is rolling out an automated cart waste/recycling/organics collection system starting on November 1, 2021. This system is an easy and safe solution to curbside waste collection services.
The FREE carts will be delivered to homes anytime from August through October; however, remember not to use them until November 1 when the trucks with collection arms begin to be used.
For more details on the system, go to carts.simcoe.ca.
TOP 8 REASONS WHY AUTOMATED CARTS ARE AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE OLD BINS AND BAGS:
- On average, these vertical carts use 50% less floor space to store waste (compared to equivalent amounts in current open bin/bag system)
- Consolidate a variety of smaller bins, bags and containers into three carts
- Good for the environment with more room for organics
- Lids on all carts protect against windblown litter and impacts from critters
- Cut down on lifting and trips to the curb! With wheels and ergonomic handles, just roll carts to the curb
- Safer for everyone with touchless automated collection
- Proven and preferred in many other communities
- Carts will ensure continuity of collection service and help
- to reduce potential for widespread collection impacts previously experienced
