Day and Time of Collection
Rubbish and recycling will be serviced on the same day each week, except when a holiday falls on or before your regular collection day. Then your recycling and rubbish materials will be collected one (1) day later. If the holiday falls on the weekend, it will not affect collection. Please place your rubbish and recycling carts at the tree lawn by 6 a.m. on your collection day, or preferably the night before, after 6 p.m. Place rubbish and recycling carts on opposite sides of your driveway.
Please refer to the Recycling and Rubbish Routes to determine your collection day.
Cart Placement
Do not place rubbish and recycling carts at the curb prior to 6 p.m. the night before your regular collection day. Be sure to remove from the tree lawn no later than 24 hours after collection. Your carts must be stored in a manner that they cannot be seen from the street.
