Tree debris restrictions still apply after storm
August 25, 2009 — As clean up continues from the storm that hit Vaughan on Aug. 20, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) remind residents that restrictions for moving tree debris remain in effect. These restrictions are in place to prevent the spread of the Asian longhorned beetle (ALHB) and the emerald ash borer (EAB).
For EAB, movement restrictions are in place for debris from ash trees for the Greater Toronto Area including the regions of York, Peel, Durham and Halton and the cities of Hamilton and Toronto.
For information on disposal of tree debris in Vaughan, residents are encouraged to contact the City of Vaughan at 905-832-2281 or visit www.york.ca
