Placement of Materials

When setting out your garbage bags, green bin, and recycling cart remember to follow the below steps to ensure all materials will be collected: 

  • Place all materials in a visible location at the bottom right side of your driveway or laneway within 1 metre (3 feet) of the curb or roadside
  • Avoid placing materials in ditches, on snow piles, or on the travelled part of the road or sidewalk
  • Ensure that any mailboxes are not being blocked
  • Check that each garbage bag and green bin does not weigh more than 18 kg (40 lbs). Anything over this limit will not be collected.
  • For additional information on setting out your recycling cart see the Circular Materials 'Tips and Tricks' resource.
