WASTE COLLECTION

Plastic Blue Boxes for Curbside Recycling are available at The Township Office. The 1st Blue Box is free; there is a $10.00 + HST charge for each additional box needed.

Garbage will not be picked up if it is not placed in clear garbage bags. Also, garbage will not be picked up if the waste management technician observes that there are recyclable materials in the garbage. It is the responsibility of the property owner to clean up any debris from damaged garbage bags caused by wildlife.

The clear bag policy is in effect. If garbage is not placed loosely in clear garbage bags, it will not be picked up on garbage day.
