Curbside Pick Up

Proper cart placement is important to waste collection. Review the general guideline PDF.

• Carts should be placed on the street with wheels touching the curb or as close as possible to the curb.

• You are responsible for placing carts past the boulevard or snow windrow.

• Carts cannot block alley access.

• Designated properties on a cul-du-sac, carts will be placed in the centre of the street for collection. Carts will be placed so that the serial number faces the right side of the cul-du-sac.

• Designated properties on 100th street or in the downtown area will place carts on the edge of the sidewalk, nearest the street, with serial numbers facing the street. These carts are not be placed on the street.

Try arranging the contents of your cart with lighter items at the bottom. If the lid blows open, there is less of a risk that items may blow out.
