YARD WASTE UPDATE

 Grass clippings are no longer accepted at the curb or at any Community Recycling Centre. You can practice grasscycling by leaving grass clippings on the lawn after you’ve mowed it. 

  There will be no garbage exemption during the holiday season. Check your collection calendar to find your garbage exemption day.

During the exemption period, remember to put your extra garbage out only on your garbage collection day, not on your recycling collection day.

There is no maximum amount of acceptable garbage (check our website for a full list of items) that you can put on the curb. Garbage bag tags are not required during exemption periods.

Excess garbage cannot:

- Weigh more than 20 kg (44 lbs).

- Be larger than 66 cm (26 in) wide and 90 cm (35 in) high.

- Be smaller than 30 cm (12 in) wide and 30 cm (12 in) high.

Put your excess garbage close to but not on top of your garbage bins, leaving at least 1 m (3 ft.) of clear space between your extra garbage item(s) and your bins.
