The City would like to remind residents not to place waste and recycling bags on snowbanks during collection days.

“Waste on snowbanks poses a danger to both residents and waste collection crews,” said Jason Sherband, Manager – Solid Waste & Recycling Services. “Crews are not permitted to climb snowbanks to retrieve items.”

Place waste and recycling bags at ground level, at the end of your driveway, approximately a metre from the road, where they will be visible to the collection staff.
