Curbside Collection Schedule

Curbside waste collection schedule

• Is there any change to the type or amount of material picked up at the curb?

  Limits for garbage remain at 80 litres.
  Unlimited recycling material will continue to be collected at curbside if packaged properly.

  A 360-litre limit, per household, per week, is in place for the Organics Curbside Collection program. As food and yard waste can be quite heavy, here are our container size and weight limitations:

  • Cans should be maximum 20 kg (44 lbs).
  • Each container should not exceed 121 litres in size.
  • Provided green bins are for daily indoor disposal and are not to be used for curbside collection.

  • View garbage can sizes
  • View What Goes Where: Type the name of a waste item and we'll tell you how to recycle or dispose of it.

• Why did some neighbourhoods join different collection routes/days?

  To enhance service. Currently, some routes cover more territory and collect more waste than others. By balancing out the area and amounts, we reduce the chance of pickup delays due to high volume. The current collection routes.

• What about statutory holidays?

  There is no curbside collection on statutory holidays.
  
  If the statutory holiday falls on a week day, collection moves one day forward after each statutory holiday.
   

  If the statutory holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday – there is NO change to the collection schedule.
