Biweekly Garbage Collection

The City is moving to biweekly garbage collection from November 1, 2021 to April 1, 2022. Your garbage collection day will remain the same but will be picked up every other week. Weekly garbage collection will resume over the holidays from December 20 to 31, 2021.

There are some properties that require additional garbage collection service. The City is accommodating by offering an additional garbage cart for an annual fee. The City is focused on waste reduction and encouraging residents to reduce, reuse and recycle to extend the life of our Landfill.

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.
Leave enough space around your carts so that you can walk around it. Leave at least one metre (four feet) of space between other objects such as parked cars, power poles, utility boxes, fences, downspouts and garages.

Cart Placement & Collection Guide

Step 1: Fill It	Blue Cart Recycling Do not bag or stack items. Keep recyclables loose in the cart. Put shredded paper in a clear plastic bag that is tied closed. Brown Garbage Cart Bag or bundle all waste items. Double bag animal waste, dust particles and powdered materials. 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 one metre (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.
