Waste collection limit and standardize waste container
|
The limit of waste per registered dwelling unit is 120 litres or 32 gallons. Each residence in the Township is linked with a waste container of 120 litres (32 gallons) marked with the Township’s logo. Only these standardize containers will be collected at the waste collection. Any additional waste bag should be marked by the township’s yellow garbage tag. New resident will receive their container at the same time we issue a new unit building permit. The new containers cost less than $40 each. 50% of that cost will be absorbed by the Township. The other 50% will be billed into your 2021 tax account. As of December 7, 2020, any broken, lost or stolen container will be payed in total by the resident. Broken containers must be brought back to the town hall. Garbage and recycling pick-up is done according to the regular schedule all year long, except on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Pick-up scheduled on one of these holidays will be postponed by one day. For more information on the By-Law 2020-36, and the reasons behind the changes in the waste collection, visit our Q & A page. |
