Curbside Collection Changes in 2026

In the Spring of 2026, the City will transition from manual to automated curbside collection services. Automated collection uses trucks with mechanical arms to lift and dump standardized bins placed at the curbside. The new, automated service will follow a four-day, bi-weekly collection schedule for garbage and recycling. Organics collection will transition to an automated four-day service but remain on a weekly schedule. Residents will receive three new bins sized at 360L for organics and recycling, and 180L for garbage. Households will be provided with an opportunity to exchange their bins for smaller containers or to purchase additional bins if needed.

Information on the transition to an automated curbside collection service will be shared with all residents in the summer and fall of 2025 and into 2026.
