Environment and Sustainability

Huron East is committed to promoting energy conservation and responsible and sustainable waste management in our community. 

Energy Conservation 

The Huron East Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan, 2019-2023 outlines our goals to conserve energy, reduce energy consumption and manage Huron East's demand for energy.  Under the Green Energy Act and as a public agency, we prepare, publish, make available to the public and implement energy conservation and management plans. 

Compost, Recycling & Waste Management

Huron East encourages its residents to Reuse, Reduce and Recycle! 

Visit our Garbage and Recycling page for more information on where and how to recycle or compost in Huron East! 

For more information on composting options for your property, visit Bluewater Recycling Association.

Sustainable Huron 

Sustainable Huron is a community-wide initiative intended to raise awareness and foster action to enhance community capacity in the face of global issues. Local communities will be affected by changes in climate, energy prices and supply, demographics, international competition and other trends.

  • For RESIDENTS, sustainability begins in your home and neighbourhood;
  • For COMMUNITIES, sustainability means being connected, self-sufficient, resourceful and resilient; qualities which enable Huron communities to cope with change; and
  • For the Corporation of the County of Huron, sustainability calls for community engagement, informed decision making and evolution.

Visit the Sustainable Huron website for more information. 

Tree Policy 

The Municipality has the authority to clear trees within the road allowance.  Trees that are diseased or damaged to the point that they pose a safety problem to the general public, will be trimmed or removed at the expense of the Municipality. 

View our Tree Cutting Policy.

The Municipality is currently reviewing its Tree Planting Policy and will post the updated policy here upon completion.  

Weed Control 

Roadside Spraying

Roadside herbicide spraying will be completed on a rotating basis according to the Huron County Weed Spraying Program. The herbicide will selectively kill weeds but not the grasses and is approved for use on roadsides under the public works exemption of the cosmetic pesticide ban. Spraying of the herbicide will be completed by a qualified contractor.  

A public notice of this pesticide use will be advertised on the Municipal website. 

Property owners not wishing to have the roadside adjacent to their property treated for noxious weeds should contact the Public Works Department by email or phone 519-527-0160 ext. 31. 

Note: It is the responsibility of the property owner requesting no spray to contact the Municipal Office each calendar year prior to the application of weed spray. Property owners requesting no spray will be responsible for noxious weeds on the road allowance adjacent to their property.
