Garbage Collection and Disposal

Garbage is collected curbside on a six, work-day cycle. For example, if your garbage is collected this week on Monday, next week your collection will be on Tuesday (if there is a statutory holiday, collection day will move forward one additional day for each statutory holiday).
There is no garbage collection on statutory holidays.
Garbage must be placed at curbside by 7 a.m. but no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.
Plastic garbage bags or reusable containers must not weigh more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds).
Metal or plastic garbage cans must be at least 30 litres
(7 Imperial gallons) but no larger than 125 litres (28 Imperial gallons) in size.
Residents cannot use individual grocery or similar size bags unless placed inside a regulation garbage container or garbage bag.
The City's W12A Landfill Site, 3502 Manning Drive, is open to the public. Click here for more details.
