How do I know which area I am in?
Please check your garbage collection calendar for pick up dates for your area. Waste collection calendars were delivered door-to-door last November. If you need a calendar you can print one off at https://www.citypa.ca/en/living-in-our-community/waste-collection-calendar.aspx. You can also sign-up for email alerts or download the Recycle Coach app to receive notifications on upcoming waste collection days.
A few reminders for residents about the yard waste program:
- Yard waste must not be placed on the street until the Yard Waste Collection Program resumes.
- Once the Program resumes, yard waste can be placed in paper bags.
- Branches should be tied in bundles less than one metre in length and placed for collection on the same day as recycle collection. Please ensure bags or bundles are placed three feet from your regular recycling bin container.
- Recycling and yard waste must be placed out for collection prior to 7:30 a.m. on the scheduled recycling collection day.
- Yard waste is collected free of charge at the landfill.
In 2019, 2,500 metric tonnes of yard waste was diverted from the landfill through the curbside yard waste pick-up program. For more information about yard waste program, please visit http://citypa.ca/yardwaste.
