In a Canadian winter, we know that we’re all in this together. To provide top-notch snow removal service for the wonderful folks of Toronto, residents have a unique role to play, too. Simple acts like bringing in garbage bins, parking a bit further from the curb, or adding some snazzy reflective lights along property lines can really help Snow T.O. work our snow-clearing magic. So, let’s team up for a worry-free winter, Toronto!

Remove Garbage
+ Recycling Bins
Ensure your bins are placed
in designated areas and away from snowplow routes to avoid interference.

Park Away from
the Curb
When we’re clearing the sidewalk, consider parking a bit further from the curb to allow for wider snow clearing and to ensure your vehicle steers clear of equipment.

Mark Property Boundaries
If possible, install reflective lights to mark the boundary between your property and the sidewalk to guide snowplow operators.

Remove Obstacles
Before the snowfall, remove any objects or vehicles that may block equipment. This ensures safe and efficient access for
the snowplow.
