SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 2052 Redan Drive, Mississauga – Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. From 9:00am to 5:00am

By Resources, Ward 1

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. From 9:00am to 5:00am. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption

As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:

  • Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
  • Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
  • Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.

After the water interruption

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Important note

After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

New recycling collection provider starting January 1, 2026

By Resources

BRAMPTON, Ont. – Oct 14, 2025. Beginning January 1, 2026, Peel Region, along with other Ontario municipalities, will transfer responsibility for their recycling programs to Circular Materials, a national not-for-profit organization. While the service provider for recycling will shift on January 1, Peel residents will continue to use their current blue recycling bin. There will also be no change to recycling collection days or schedule.

There is no action required at this time from residents.

This change comes as part of the Ontario government’s shift to an Extended Producer Responsibility model, which makes producers, the companies that create recyclable packaging, fully responsible for funding and managing recycling programs.

As of January 1, Circular Materials will take over the operation of the residential recycling program on behalf of producers across Ontario. While the recycling collection program will be managed by Circular Materials, Green For Life Environmental (GFL) will be the official collection contractor in Peel for recycling material.

Peel Region remains the source for information on recycling until the end of this year and residents are encouraged to continue to visit peelregion.ca/waste for all waste collection information, including information related to the upcoming change to recycling. For more information about Circular Materials, visit circularmaterials.ca

World Homeless Day is October 10.

By Events, Resources

Each year, World Homeless Day raises awareness about homelessness and calls for action to prevent and end it.

In 2024:

– 8,507 families, single adults, and youth were served in an emergency shelter or overflow hotel, which included approximately 4,200 asylum claimants

– over 1,000 individuals received supports with more than 14,850 interactions for individuals living on the streets through our outreach program

– 511 households secured housing from the By-Name List, a real-time list of all people experiencing homelessness

– 154 households experiencing homelessness received a Peel funded portable housing subsidy

2025 Vacuum Leaf Collection Program

By Resources, Ward 1

This year, the leaf collection zones have been re-organized to align collection dates with typical leaf drop timing. We have also taken into account feedback we’ve received from the community about the program. In general, this means that the program will begin in the northern neighbourhoods and end in the south. As a result, some residents may notice that their leaf collection dates are different this year.

Postcard Mailing due to the Mail Strike is not moving forward at this time.

For residents in the Blue and Green zones, we are implementing a multi-channel communication strategy to reach residents effectively. This includes:

  • Targeted messaging via social media
  • Use of mobile signboards and digital signage
  • Availability of postcards at local community centres

About Leaf Collection
Residents are instructed to rake leaves to the boulevard a day or two before their leaf collection dates. Leaves should not be raked onto the road. This can cause catch basins to become blocked and affect drainage when it rains.

Residents who miss their leaf pickup dates, or who still have leaves to collect after the program has ended in their zone, should rake their leaves into open reusable containers or paper yard waste bags and place them curbside for pick up by the Region of Peel.

The week of December 8th is the final week of yard waste collection by the Region of Peel.

Get your batteries ready for pickup

By Announcement, Resources

BRAMPTON, Ont. – October 6, 2025. Peel Region will be collecting single-use and rechargeable batteries at the curb starting October 20.

Check your waste collection calendar to find your battery pickup day.

Here’s how to prepare and set out your batteries for collection:

  • Put your used single-use and rechargeable batteries in a transparent, sealed bag.
  • Tape the ends of all rechargeable and 9V batteries.
  • On your battery pickup day, place your battery bag on top of your closed green bin. If you don’t have a green bin, place your battery bag beside your recycling bags.

Thanks to Peel residents, we’ve collected more than 255,000 kgs of batteries that could have otherwise ended up in the landfill.

If you miss your battery pickup day, don’t worry. Check RecycleYourBatteries.ca to find a free drop-off location near you to safely dispose of used and old batteries throughout the year. You can also drop off batteries for free year-round at any Community Recycling Centre near you.

Batteries should never be put in your garbage, recycling, or organics bins – they can cause fires in collection trucks and at facilities, putting workers at risk. By properly disposing of batteries, you’re helping to keep hazardous materials out of landfills, protecting our environment and our Peel community.
