Cart Placement & Collection Guide

Step 1:
Fill It

Blue Cart Recycling

  • Do not bag or stack items. Keep recyclables loose in the cart.
  • Secure shredded paper in paper bag/box.

Brown Garbage Cart

  • Bag or bundle all waste items.
  • Double bag animal waste, dust particles and powdered materials.

Green Food & Yard Waste Cart

  • Line the bottom of your green cart with newspaper, tissues, paper towel or cardboard to minimize items freezing and/or sticking to the cart.  
  • Wrap smelly food scraps in newspaper or use kraft or starch-lined paper bags (available at major retailers).  
  • Store your green cart outdoors to avoid the freeze-thaw cycle.  
  • Use a broom or shovel to loosen stuck or frozen items so the cart empties easily.  
  • Store your cart in a shady location between collection days.   
  • Keep cart lid closed.  
  • Layer paper and cardboard products like paper yard waste bags, tissues, paper towel and egg cartons to absorb liquids.   
  • Rinse out your green cart with a garden hose periodically.  
  • The use of compostable (BPI certified) plastic bags can help with freezing waste and smell. 

Remember

  • Keep cart lids closed & do not let them overflow.
  • Do not place additional waste beside your cart.
  • Make sure material is not packed too tightly and can easily come out of the carts when the collection truck picks it up.

Step 2:
Place It

On collection day, place the carts on even ground on the street or in the back alley before 7:30 a.m. Make sure they do not block traffic.

On the front street

  • Place cart wheels against the curb. In the winter, place your cart with its wheels against the street side of the snow ridge.

In the back lane

  • Place cart wheels at the edge of your back lane with enough space away from your back hedge, garage or fence.
  • Arrange the cart so the arrows on the lid are pointed toward the centre of the road or lane.

Step 3:
Space It

Leave enough space around your cart so that you can easily walk around it. There should be at least 1.2 meters (approximately four feet) of space between other objects such as parked cars, power poles, utility boxes, fences, downspouts and garages.

Step 4:
Store It

Roll your empty cart back in a secure location on your property or against your fence after it has been collected.

Please keep carts from blocking alleys. This helps keep our alleys clean and prevents litter.
