The new system includes four collection services:

Food Scraps

Collected weekly from spring to fall, and every 2 weeks in the winter, using a cart provided by the City.
If you have spare room in your food scraps cart, you can top it up with yard waste as long as the lid can be fully closed.

Recycling

Collected in blue bags all year round on a weekly basis.
There are no changes to recycling collection.

Garbage

Collected every 2 weeks year-round, using a cart provided by the City.
Once you get the hang of sorting out your food scraps, yard waste and recycling, you’ll find that you have less garbage.

Yard Waste

Collected twice in spring and twice in fall in clear plastic bags or double-ply paper yard waste bags and/or bundles wrapped in biodegradable twine.

You can also top up your food scraps cart with yard waste or take it to an Eco Station for free between seasonal collection days.
