Recycling Collection
Recycling is collected weekly.
There is no limit to the amount of recycling.
Place your recycling at the curb before 7:00a.m on your designated collection day.
Reminders:
- Packaging foam is not recyclable.
- Styrofoam is not recyclable.
- Your waste must be at the curb after 7 p.m. the day before your collection, or before 7 a.m. the day of collection.
- There is no limit to the amount of recycling you can set out.
- You can put all your recycling into the same container: it doesn't need to be sorted.
- Set out your recycling in a container or box or clear/blue bag. It shouldn't weigh more than 50 pounds or 22 kilograms.
- Large cardboard boxes can be folded down, tied in bundles 75 cm x 75 cm (24" x 24" x 24") and placed beside your recycling pile.
- 95 gallon bins are acceptable. Please note that if the bin does not have a bar or lip then all materials inside must be bagged. Not all 95 gallon bins are tippable.
Winter Collection
Winter poses many challenges – especially when it comes to waste collection. Please take note of these tips to ensure your waste is not left behind.
Where:
- Place bins and bags in your shoveled driveway or on a shoveled-out part of the boulevard.
- Waste should never be placed on the sidewalk, as it creates a hazard for pedestrians and snow plow operators.
- Waste should never be placed on the road, as it creates a hazard for drivers and snow plow operators.
Waste will be left behind if it is placed on a snowbank, is buried in the snow, or is frozen into the bin.
Everyone deserves a safe work environment. Waste rules are in place to ensure the health and safety of waste collection staff. When waste is left behind, it is often because it is unsafe for the contractor to collect.
