Garbage and Recycle Collection

While your alley is closed for construction, waste cart collection will occur from your front street or avenue. Residents are asked to temporarily relocate carts and recycle bags to the front of their property during alley closures for pick-up on collection days. Carts and bags should be placed in a visible location along the curb or back of the sidewalk, at which point collection workers will manoeuver carts so they can be emptied. We recommend you identify your home address in the space provided on the carts to ensure your assigned carts are returned to your home after collection.

Alley construction in Allendale started in spring 2024 and is expected to take two years to complete (the planned completion is fall 2025). Alley Renewal in Allendale is progressing on time and on budget.
