Curbside waste and recycling collection

The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula contracts Waste Management of Canada Corporation for the co-collection of waste and recyclables. 

  • Waste and recycling is collected starting at 8:00 a.m. on Mondays only.
  • You 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 waste and recyclable 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.

Household hazardous and special waste collection

The County of Bruce hosts Household Hazardous and Special Waste Collection Events each year in Northern Bruce Peninsula. 

Attendees MUST remain in their vehicle, windows closed, waste material in open trunk only for unloading. Please do not attend if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. 

Bruce County will be taking all precautions reasonable for their staff and contractor to operate these events during COVID-19. They require resident's adherence to the protocols in place to deliver this service. The County retains the right to refuse service if protocols are not being followed.
