Green carts now collected weekly until the fall

You can now get your green cart emptied every week until the fall.

Weekly collection started Monday.

The city says Regional Council approved a slightly shorter collection period this year under the 2025/26 budget.

To help ensure pickup, have it at the cub at 7 a.m., on your collection day.

A few tips to keep it clean and odour-free:
· Wrap wet food waste in boxboard or newspaper
· Use paper liners in your mini-bin and green cart
· Empty your mini-bin daily
· Place your cart at the curb even if it’s not full
· Freeze food scraps until collection day
· Store your cart in a shaded, well-ventilated area
Weekly collection ends September 12, when the bi-weekly rotation resumes.
