Waste Management during COVID-19

There are no changes to your curbside waste, organics or recycling pick-up schedule.

Please do not put additional recycling or organics next to your cart, overfill your cart, or leave recycling outside the Depot fence. Continue to use your carts for weekly collection and hold on to your excess material until your next collection date. If you have extra recycling and you know a nieghbour doesn't, consider asking them if you could put some of your recycling in their carts (while keeping a safe distance).

To manage extra recyclables, break down boxes to make more room in the blue cart.

Thank-you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.
