Garbage, Recycling & Food Waste Collection
To minimize risk to our waste collectors and processors, personal care products accepted in either the curbside garbage or food waste collection must now be contained within a sealed bag. Specifically, items such as tissues and napkins must be placed in compostable bags, tied shut and placed in the curbside green bin for collection, or otherwise put in your garbage bag. For information as to what-goes-where, refer to our Curbside Collection web page or download the Recycle Coach mobile phone app. Call the City if further information is required. Thank you for your cooperation.
