2025 Residential Garbage & Green Bin Collection Schedule

Check out the 2025 garbage and green can collection schedule! Green bins are collected every week. Containers must be placed curbside by 7:30 am on the designated collection day.

Accepted Green Bin Containers

  1. Designated refuse containers (minimum 50 litres / maximum 80 litres) marked with a "Green Can" decal, making sure this decal is facing the street (decals available at City Hall, 20399 Douglas Crescent)
  2. Double-ply water-resistant, compostable kraft yard bags specifically designed for green waste collection, available at most retail stores.

If cans do not have the Green Can decal, they will appear to be regular garbage cans, resulting in your green waste not being picked up.

Items in your Green Can should be wrapped only in paper bags or newspaper. Due to rapid decomposition, plastic and compostable plastic bags are not accepted at the composting facility If any plastic bags are present, the can won’t be emptied until they are removed. 

Branches (maximum 1 metre x 60 cm) must be securely tied in bundles no heavier than 20kg.
