Waste Management
Curbside waste and recycling collection
The Municipality contracts Waste Management of Canada Corporation for the co-collection of waste and blue box recyclables. Curbside collection is carried out weekly. To ensure your materials are collected, you must have them placed at the roadside by 8:00 a.m. on Mondays only.
Each improved property can place two bags of waste at the roadside each week, which do not weigh more than 22 kilograms each. The same truck will collect both waste and recycling. The truck has two separate compartments.
If you live on a private or unmaintained roadway, place your waste and recyclable materials at the nearest intersection of a serviced roadway. If you live on a seasonal roadway, place your materials at the nearest intersection of a serviced roadway between October 15 and April 15.
Curbside collection will happen on all statutory holidays except Christmas Day and New Year's Day if they fall on a Monday.
Recycling
You can buy a blue box at the Municipal Office or at a Waste Disposal Site for $9.00 including HST.
We accept mixed blue box recyclable materials at the roadside, as well as at the three Waste Disposal Sites during regular hours of operation. For more information, please visit Waste Management's Recycle Right website.
