Have you taken a moment to glance at your curbside collection schedule for the upcoming weeks? The holidays are all about creating memories - the District of Muskoka is helping to make the weeks ahead as seamless as possible. Changes are coming to waste collection over the holidays, here’s what you need to know. ❄️ Curbside Collection Day Changes: 'Tis the Season for a Temporary Shift A temporary shift in curbside collection days is happening over the holidays. During the weeks of December 25 and January 1, regular collection days will move one day later for those two weeks. For example - Monday routes will be collected on Tuesday, Tuesday routes collected on Wednesday, and so on. Friday collection days will move to Saturday. Online collection schedules on our website and on our App have been updated to reflect the curbside day change over the holidays. This change accommodates the weekday festive statutory holidays, while collecting and managing waste materials conveniently. This is only a temporary shift over the holidays - schedules will go back to normal starting the week of January 8th. 🎄 Gift Your Tree a Second Life Mark your calendars for the festive farewell of your real Christmas tree.

How to Fly on an Airplane Summer time means summer vacations. Summer vacations mean a lot of flying. And with a lot of flying comes a lot of opportunity: both to be productive and to get sick. A couple years back I talked to one of my good friends Susan Sly, about this very subject. Susan is an expert in balanced living and a renowned author and speaker on the topic of empowerment. She is an entrepreneur that has built a tremendous business in enabling others to reach their goals. And, she knows a lot about the best habits to employ when flying on an airplane. So, without further ado, here is the list: Don’t drink the water. A survey sampling of 327 airplanes found that there was a high amount of E. coli in the on-board drinking water. You have to bring your own water because even coffee and tea has shown traces of E. coli. For safety reasons, the water on a plane won’t be heated enough to kill off the bacteria. So, buy a bottle of water after you go through security. When you’re on board, only drink bottled water- one for every hour that you fly. This will help you be less hungry(see below) and will help you avoid feeling dehydrated when you get off the plane. Avoid the seat-back pocket. We’ve all done it- tuck our iPads in the seat-back pocket before we read the Sunday NY Times, or watch a movie. Or, we stick that crossword puzzle in there when we decide to take a nap. Don’t. That place is a haven for cold and influenza viruses. The reason: not everyone washes their hands, which is one of the top disease contributors in the entire world. Wipe down your tray table. Always bring a pack of anti-bacterial wipes. A staphylococcus lives on these things and kills 20,000 Americans every year. Eat your own food. FDA inspectors went into the kitchens of planes from major airlines and found the Listeria virus as well as swarms of cockroaches. But, forgetting that, even from a general nutrition perspective, airplane food is not good for you. These types of meals are packed with sodium and loaded with preservatives. When I travel I bring a natural protein bar, raw almonds, raw walnuts and even a piece of food. Avoid fast food when waiting at an airport terminal. What’s good is that a lot of larger airports these days offer a variety of food options. Bring your own blanket. Many airlines won’t even provide blankets anymore, but if they do, use your own! There’s an Aspergillus niger virus that can cause pneumonia and lives in these blankets. The Wall Street Journal did a study in 2007 that revealed that blankets were only washed once every five to 30 days. How disgusting is that? If you forget a blanket, use your own jacket. Wash your hands. Avoid airplane bathrooms at all costs. The CDC found that H1N1 and SARS epidemics may have been perpetuated throughout the United States by airplane bathrooms. Here’s why: when you flush the toilet air sprays up particles from urine, to airplane matter, and germs and other viruses. Please fly safe

Traveling for Thanksgiving this year? The holidays are a time for good food and cherished moments with family and friends. However, holiday travel can sometimes be a challenging experience. Don't let the travel blues dampen your festive spirit this Thanksgiving weekend. Here are some tips to make your road trip more enjoyable: Healthy Snacking: Resist the temptation of greasy fast food by packing nutritious snacks like trail mix, fruit, crackers, protein bars, and veggies. Stay hydrated with plenty of water to keep you energized during the long drive. Vehicle Prep: Ensure your vehicle is road-ready by scheduling an overall inspection. Change the oil, top off fluids, rotate tires, and give your car a thorough cleaning. A well-maintained vehicle adds to the safety and style of your journey. Entertainment Essentials: Make the trip enjoyable by prepping entertainment. Pack your favorite games, and books, and update your music playlist. Even a game of I Spy can add fun to the journey. Emergency Preparedness: Invest in an emergency kit for your vehicle, including blankets, road flares, a basic first aid kit, water, a flashlight, batteries, and non-perishable items. Be ready for the unexpected. Take Breaks: Long hours on the road can be tiring. Plan stops along your route to stretch, move about, and keep blood circulating. Taking breaks helps you stay awake and focused. With a bit of planning and preparation, your holiday road trip can become a memorable part of the festive season. Safe travels and enjoy the journey! #DMABuiltonPassion #thanksgiving2023 #roadtrip #thanksgivingtravel #happythanksgiving

Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are some tips to help you clean up efficiently after those holiday parties. 1. Plan ahead: Before the party starts, make sure you have all the cleaning supplies you'll need close at hand. This includes garbage bags, cleaning sprays, paper towels, and anything else you might need to tackle spills and messes. 2. Enlist help: Cleaning up after a party can be a big job, so don't be afraid to ask for help. Enlist family members or friends to help you clean up, or consider hiring a cleaning service to take care of the mess for you. If you have small bodied children, get them to help you and reward them with something afterwards! 3. Tackle spills immediately: When spills happen (and they will), clean them up immediately. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to remove the stain or spill. Use a cleaning spray and paper towels to clean up spills quickly and efficiently. Have the washer and dryer ready in case someone needs to use it! 4. Sort and recycle: As you're cleaning up, sort items into piles for recycling, composting, or garbage. This will help you stay organized and make it easier to dispose of everything properly. 5. Don't forget the small details: It's easy to overlook small details like cleaning the stovetop or wiping down the fridge, but these little tasks can make a big difference in the overall cleanliness of your home. Take the time to clean these areas thoroughly to ensure your home is sparkling clean after the party.
