The City’s crews are ready to respond 24/7 to keep you moving safely this snowy season. New this winter, the City will deliver citywide residential driveway windrow clearing – no registration needed.
A windrow is a pile of snow left at the end of your driveway after your street has been plowed. If you have a single, double or shared driveway, you will get at least a three-metre space cleared in your driveway windrow. The City will provide this service when Mississauga gets at least five centimetres of snow.
Did the plow drive by without clearing your windrow? Driveway windrows will be cleared four to six hours after your street has received its final round of plowing. Sometimes it takes plows multiple passes to clear your street – it will be back!
It’s also possible that there was an obstacle that prevented the plow from clearing your windrow. To get your windrow cleared, here’s what you need to do:
* Don’t park your vehicle on the road or on the lower portion of your driveway.
* On waste collection days, place your bins away from the curb.
* Make sure there aren’t any obstacles like sports equipment or lawn ornaments located near the lower portion of your driveway. To learn more, visit mississauga.ca/snow
