Non-Residential Garbage Collection

We do not collect garbage for industrial, commercial or institutional sector businesses that produce large quantities of garbage.  Please contact a private waste collection company.

If your non-residential unit (hair salon, church, small store, etc.) produces no more than six bags of garbage every other week, you may qualify for our Yellow Bag Garbage Program.

Yellow Bag Garbage Program

If your non-residential unit (hair salon, church, small store, etc.) produces no more than six bags of garbage every other week, you can have it picked up for a fee as part of our Yellow Bag Garbage Program.  This may be a good option for you if you run a business out of your home.

Fill out our application (PDF, 471 KB) and email it to us or fax it to 705-671-1148.

There is a $100 refundable deposit to join the program. You must purchase identifiable yellow garbage bags with the City logo to participate in the program. They are sold in packages of 10 for $35.
