Garbage Pick-up
Your collection container should be placed curbside in plain view with the lid closed, within 1 meter of the curb. Containers should be placed outside by 7:00 am on the day of collection. Containers placed after 7:00 am on collection day may not be collected.
Please do not place your garbage bins on the curb until the morning of collection day. Collection containers left our over night can attract bears and other wildlife.
