We will use our social media platforms and website to inform residents about any changes in the collection day, either before or after the Statutory Holiday, depending on the holiday in question.

The Town’s Solid Garbage Management Bylaw lists resident responsibilities to make garbage collection efficient, timely and safe. Please read this summary to learn how you can help.

In order to prevent loose garbage from falling on the ground, road, grass or other areas please ensure that any garbage that is to be collected is bagged. The Town reserves the right to withhold collection of improperly prepared garbage, prohibited garbage, excessive quantities of garbage, or garbage located at unsafe or non-compliant set-out locations.

Please do:

• Make sure that there is a 5 cm space between garbage and the top of the Receptacle
• Ensure garbage receptacles/collection carts are placed at collection points no later than 7 am on the scheduled collection day
• Place bins at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from other bins or obstacles.

Please do not:

• Place garbage anywhere other than in the garbage receptacles (container, cart)
• Over-fill the garbage container or collection cart
• Place garbage receptacles in locations that are unsafe, obstructed, blocked by snow, ice, poorly maintained, and uneven
• Set out garbage receptacles/collection carts before 7 pm the evening of the day prior to collection
• Place garbage collection bins together. This can cause complications during collection.
