Place your GARBAGE CART OUT BI-WEEKLY on your regular collection day by 7 am. To see a full list of what belong in your garbage cart, click here
Proper set out is important to ensure the mechanical arm can grab your cart efficiently. To ensure collection, place your cart:
- With arrows facing the street (handles towards your house)
- 2 feet apart from other cart or any other object
- Within 8 feet from the travelled portion of the road
- With lid closed (do not overstuff - see below under overflow instructions)
Instructions for Managing Occasional Overflow Garbage:
- Overflow garbage is anything that doesn't fit into the cart with the lid closed
- Garbage tags must be affixed to all overflow garbage
- Garbage tags are $3 per tag sold in sheets of 5 at various retail locations
- Max of 5 tagged bags are permitted on garbage day
- Use standard-sized garbage bags (max weight 20 kg, max volume 90 cm x 75 cm)
- Place 2 feet apart from cart or any other objects, not on top of cart
- Old garbage cans may be used as long as the garbage inside is tagged and bagged as above (limit 1 bag per container to ensure collection)
Participating in organics will free up more space in your garbage cart and reduce the need for overflow.
