Curbside Collection Tips
- Clear ice and snow away from your collection area. Please add traction if it is not possible to clear away ice.
- Place your cart in front of windrows or snowbanks, not on top, behind or in. Provide as much space (1 metre) between the cart and snow as possible.
- Place your cart on solid, level ground. You don’t need to shovel down to the asphalt if the road is compacted with snow.
- Avoid placing waste near downspouts or discharge pipes. Your cart could freeze to the ground.
- Keep recycling light. Each recycling bag must weigh less than 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Your collector should be able to lift a bag with one hand.
- Ensure your carts aren’t overfilled to prevent waste from falling out and potentially creating hazards. Use the WasteWise app to properly sort your waste.
