Dear Ward 3 Residents,

Free Burlap Drive-thru Pickup Event

The City is giving away free burlap kits to help Richmond Hill residents protect their trees from spongy moth. You can pick one up at the drive-thru pickup event on June 2 between 5 and 7 p.m. Simply drive up to the front door of the Richmond Hill Operations Centre(1200 Elgin Mills road East) and staff will hand you a kit through the car window.

No registration required for this event, but you will be asked to show proof of residency.

Free burlap kits are also available for pickup in the reception area during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Each kit includes one (1) piece of burlap that can be cut to fit up to three (3) medium sized trees, twine and a how-to guide. One kit per Richmond Hill household, while quantities last.

Visit RichmondHill.ca/SpongyMoth for more information on how to combat this pest.
