The City of Mississauga offers a program to provide seniors and individuals with disabilities assistance clearing the piles of snow left by snowplows at the end of driveways. The program is now open for applications for the 2024-25 season.
Overview
A windrow is the pile of snow left at the bottom of a driveway after a plow clears the road. The City will clear a three-metre space in the windrow at the bottom of your driveway, enough space for one car to pass through. The program costs $200 for the season but is free for residents who meet the financial assistance criteria.
Windrow clearing is available to 750 participants on a first come, first served basis. Last year’s program was fully subscribed quickly.
