Milton's Windrow Snow-Clearing Program Opens for Registration October 19

Milton residents who struggle to clear the ridge of snow a plow leaves at the end of a driveway can sign up soon for help. The Town of Milton's windrow removal program opens for registration on Monday, October 19, with space limited and a short registration window.

What Happened

The windrow program clears the pile of snow left across the end of a driveway after a snowplow passes. It is offered to Milton residents who are 65 and older, and to residents with disabilities.

Registration opens Monday, October 19 at 8 a.m. and closes Friday, October 23 at 4 p.m. In-person sign-up runs October 19 to 23 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Milton Leisure Centre at 1100 Main Street, on a first-come, first-served basis, and online registration is also available.

Key Details

• Who qualifies: Milton residents 65 and older, and residents with disabilities.

• Applicants 65 and older need identification showing proof of age and Milton residency; applicants with disabilities need a doctor's note.

• No able-bodied person 16 or older can live at the address.

• Registration opens October 19 at 8 a.m. and closes October 23 at 4 p.m.

• In-person sign-up: October 19 to 23, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Milton Leisure Centre, 1100 Main Street.

• The program runs December 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.

• Cost is $71, and space is limited. Details are on the Town's windrow removal page at milton.ca.

Community Impact

For older residents and people with disabilities, the snow bank a plow leaves behind can block a driveway completely and be difficult or unsafe to shovel. The program is meant to keep those residents mobile through the winter.

Because spaces are limited and registration closes October 23, eligible residents are encouraged to sign up early.

Background

Windrow clearing is a seasonal support the Town offers each winter for residents who meet the eligibility rules. It covers the plow-left snow at the driveway entrance, not full driveway or walkway clearing.
