Curbside Collection Tips
- Keep it light. Yard waste and recycling bags should weigh less than 20 kg (44 lb). Tie branches into small bundles no more than 1.2 meters (4 feet) in length.
- Ensure your carts aren’t overfilled in order to prevent waste from falling out and potentially creating hazards. Use the WasteWise app to properly sort your waste.
- Make your waste accessible. Place blue bags and yard waste as close to the street or alley as possible; avoid placing blue bags on top of or behind dirt piles, or within 1 meter of carts.
- Box and label sharps before placing in your garbage cart, including glass, nails and metal scraps. Needles should be taken to an Eco Station.
- If you have front street collection, park your vehicle off the street on collection day, if possible. If you are unable to move your car off the street, ensure it is at least 1 meter away from any cart on the street.
