Waste Collection Maps & Calendars

The calendars provided indicate collection days for garbage collection routes.  Reference the Maps to identify your Area (collection route), and view the corresponding calendar.   In the event of a statutory holiday, collection for the affected day is usually postponed for pickup later the same week.  Although we try to avoid advanced collection, routes that are normally conducted on a Friday may be conducted on the Thursday prior, in the event a Statutory Holiday falls on the Friday.  Regular hours for all municipal landfill sites are included in the calendar.  Holiday schedules may affect landfill hours of operation, which can be confirmed by calling the local Ward office.
