BURLINGTON, ON
The city shut down a lot of its facilities but the Region has decided they will ensure that essential services remain open on February 2, 2015 despite winter storm conditions.
Administrative buildings are open, but with minimal staffing. However, due to the reduced visibility and hazardous travelling conditions resulting from the winter storm, Halton Region has suspended several services including waste collection services scheduled for February 2, 2015 in Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville.
All waste collection services in Halton Region will be postponed one day for remainder of the week, including regularly scheduled collection for Friday, February 6, 2015, which will now happen on Saturday, February 7.
Residents in any areas who did not receive collection on Monday, February 2, are asked to remove their Blue Box, GreenCart and garbage material from the curb and place back at the curb, no later than 7:00 a.m., on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 for collection.
There are some exceptions:
Our Regional Councillors will do almost anything for a photo-op; this time they are showing you the new 2 gallon blue boxes which they don’t want you to put out on the street today.
• The Region will maintain Tuesday and Friday designated BIA collection services.
• There will be no change to commercial locations scheduled for Thursday and Friday collection
In addition to the changes in waste collection, the following Regional offices have also been closed:
• All health clinics and locations: Those with appointments are being contacted and alternate arrangements will be made.
• Regional Clerk’s Office
• Halton Region Small Business Centre
• Halton Region Museum
• Planning Services and Public Works Office, located at 1075 North Service Road West, Oakville.
Halton Region is closely monitoring the weather forecast and it is anticipated that all regular Regional services will return on February 3, 2015. Should this change, up to date information will be posted at Halton.ca, on Twitter at @RegionofHalton, or dial 311.
