​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Gliding on a rink is fun. Sliding on sidewalks, not fun.

The City of Brampton needs your help to clear the way:

• ​Clear your sidewalks of snow and ice by 11 am the day after a snowfall.
• Clear snow from around fire hydrants on your property.
• Do not shovel snow onto the street. Pushing or shovelling snow onto the road can create a safety hazard for vehicles and can also block catch basins and create a flooding risk.
• Personal property such as waste bins, sports equipment and lawn decorations should be removed from the road and placed away from the curb.
  

Snow and ice on sidewalks is a safety hazard as it increases the risk of a slip and fall. It is also an obstacle for strollers, wheelchairs, etc.

As a result, the City created the Snow and Ice Removal By-law (242-76) requiring property owners and tenants to remove snow, ice and slush from their sidewalks by 11am the day after the end of a snowfall.

When the City receives a complaint about sidewalks that are not cleared, a bylaw officer will investigate and may issue an Order to Comply, which requires the property owner or tenant to clear the sidewalk within 8 hours.

The City will come to re-inspect and if the work is still not done, will arrange for a contractor to clear the sidewalk. The City will add the cost of the work, plus administrative fees, to the property owner’s taxes.

To report a sidewalk that has not been cleared by 11am the day after the end of a snowfall, or if you have questions regarding the bylaw, please call 311 if you are in Brampton or 905.458.3424 from anywhere or email enforcement@brampton.ca.​​​​​​​

Waste Collection and Bin Storage​

During winter weather events, there may be delays in the Region of Peel's garbage and organics collection service and Circular Materials recycling collection service. To help keep roads clear for snowplows, residents are asked to place their bins three feet from the curb on their scheduled collection days until it is picked up.
