The next phase of reopening landfills in Simcoe County during the COVID-19 pandemic begins Monday, May 25.

Currently, the county has four sites open in West Gwillimbury, Nottawasaga, Oro and North Simcoe.

Starting Monday, three more sites will reopen: Mara, Tosorontio and Collingwood.

Residents are being urged to only use the landfills for essential drop-offs.

Physical distancing measures will remain in place.

The county said the reopening of other sites will provide greater disposal options to residents which should reduce wait times at the four currently operating sites.

Due to the pandemic, the county's bulky item and compost program and textile collections are all postponed.

The landfill changes do not apply to the cities of Barrie and Orillia.
