Have you taken a moment to glance at your curbside collection schedule for the upcoming weeks? The holidays are all about creating memories &#8211; the District of Muskoka is helping to make the weeks ahead as seamless as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changes are coming to waste collection over the holidays, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Curbside Collection Day Changes: &#8216;Tis the Season for a Temporary Shift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A temporary shift in curbside collection days is happening over the holidays. During the weeks of December 25 and January 1, regular collection days will move one day later, for those two weeks. For example &#8211; Monday routes will be collected on Tuesday, Tuesday routes collected on Wednesday, and so on. Friday collection days will move to Saturday. Online collection schedules on our website and on our App have been updated to reflect the curbside day change over the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This change accommodates the weekday festive statutory holidays, while collecting and managing waste materials conveniently. This is only a temporary shift over the holidays &#8211; schedules will go back to normal starting the week of January 8<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gift Your Tree a Second Life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark your calendars for the festive farewell of your real Christmas tree. In urban areas, scheduled pick-ups will happen during the weeks of January 8 and January 15, 2024. Trees that can be composted and are properly set at the curb will be collected and turned into nutrient-rich compost. Bid farewell responsibly \u2013 no decorations or lights, just natural green goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those outside the urban zone, trees can be delivered to any transfer station until the end of February, we\u2019ll compost them and give your tree a second life.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the collection calendar online or in the app for urban and rural schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter hours are now in effect for all waste facility locations in Muskoka, please plan your trips. All waste facility locations will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year&#8217;s Day.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holiday Hooray: Curbside Garbage Limits&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong>After the excitement, comes holiday clean-up.
