Wood Chips Offered to Pickering Residents

April 9, 2010

The City of Pickering is pleased to announce the provision of wood chips to Pickering residents who are looking to improve the water conservation and appearance of their home gardens. The wood chip pile will be located in the rear, east gravel parking lot of the Pickering Recreation Complex (1867 Valley Farm Road).

The pile will be replenished periodically throughout the summer.  Please help yourself and ensure you are sustainable by taking only what you require for your property.

The wood chips are being provided to the residents of Pickering on a trial basis. Please respect the local residents and keep the area tidy and clear of garbage. This practice will be reviewed at the end of the year to determine its success.

Should you have any questions or comments please contact Rob Gagen, Foreperson, Parks & Property at 905.420.4660 ext. 5236 or by email rgagen@cityofpickering.com.
