Where to Place Items For Collection

Do place your garbage, recycling and green box:

  • In a visible location on the ground as close as possible to the roadway (not behind shrubs, fences or snow banks)
  • On level ground

Do not:

  • Place items on top of snow banks.  Shovel an area that is flat and place your items there to prevent items from falling, slipping or tipping over. 
  • Place items on the sidewalk or travelled roadway.  This area must be kept clear for road or sidewalk maintenance crews. This is especially important during winter months.
