Peel Region Events Calendar

Humber Nurseries is offering local gardeners more options when it comes to responsibly disposing of garden pots and trays. Gardeners are encouraged to bring their clean, dry garden plastic pots and trays to our store from June 30th to July 15th, and put them in the designated recycling area. To help make this recycling event a success, residents are asked to dispose of non-recyclables and other trash through normal means, and refrain from leaving items outside the store after business hours.
