April 28, 2017 - Garbage collection has resumed today, and all residents with Friday pickup on their Waste Collection Calendar can put their garbage at the curb as usual.

Residents can expect some delays throughout the day due to poor winter driving conditions. Set-out limits still apply.

For those whose garbage and recycling collection service was cancelled on Wednesday, April 26, place garbage at the curb after 4 pm today, or before 7 am tomorrow for pickup on Saturday, April 29.

For those whose garbage collection service was cancelled on Thursday, April 27, place garbage at the curb after 4 pm Sunday, or before 7 am Monday for pickup on Monday, May 1.

Battery recycling bag pick-up will also resume.

"We are also asking for the public's help to alert elderly family members or those that might be home bound about this new schedule for garbage pickup," said Jason Sherband, Manager of Solid Waste & Recycling Services. "Just in case they do not hear about it through the traditional media."
