Garbage

Residents with a utility account are provided with a garbage cart (grey) that is collected weekly. We also offer several special collection events including Christmas Tree Collection, Large Item Collection and Household Hazardous Roundup.

Curbside collection requirements

Follow these instructions to ensure your waste or organics carts are collected.

  • Place your cart curbside by 7 a.m.
  • Fully close the cart lid.
  • Place all garbage in bags or boxes inside the cart; no loose rubbish.
  • Point the arrows on top of the cart towards the road when putting the cart out.
  • Ensure there is at least one metre distance from all obstacles such as fences, cars, other carts or blue bags.
