Residential waste, organics & recycling collection Collection and placement
Recycling
Material must be placed at the curb/alley by 7 a.m. on your collection day.
• Collected once weekly year round on the business day following your garbage and organics collection day.
Cart placement is the main reason collection is missed. When placing your recycling or organic cart be sure to leave a minimum of one metre clearance around the entire cart to ensure trucks are able to access it.
• Do not place excess recycling next to your blue cart. The recycling collection trucks are automated and equipped to pick up only carts and not excess recycling around it. If you have excess recycling, hold onto it for the next collection day or take it to the Eastside Recycle Depot.
