Household waste at the end of their useful life that is not compostable or recyclable.

This list can be changed at the discretion of the Town.

Household organic/compostable waste that is not recyclable and should not go to the landfill.

This list can be changed at the discretion of the Town.

Be prepared to provide the address of the service request, the type of cart (black/green), the type of damage (wheels/lids/other) and your name and contact number.

When carts are placed properly for pickup, the automated collection system makes curbside service efficient and cost-effective.

• Place the carts and excess waste bags at the collection point by 7:00 a.m. on collection day
• Place the carts at least one meter (3.3 feet) to the rear and sides, including parked vehicles, and 3 meters (9.8 feet) above from any object.
• Ensure cart lids are fully closed and the wheels face towards the house. 
• Store carts on private property to avoid theft and damage. The ideal location would be easily accessible to deposit your waste and on a flat surface to prevent the cart from rolling away.
• Return carts to storage location by 11:00 p.m. on collection day.

Be prepared to provide the address of the service request, the type of cart (black/green), the type of damage (wheels/lids/other) and your name and contact number.

 In winter months, residents are reminded to;

• Clean an area around the carts, at the collection location, of snow and do not place the carts behind or on top of snow banks
• Clear the lid of snow and ice so the lid opens during collection 
• Layer organics in the green cart with paper products (such as newspaper, food boxes or paper towels) to reduce material from becoming stuck
