Multi-Residences & Commercial Properties
Garbage
The City does not provide garbage collection services to multi-unit residences of 5 units or more, mixed use developments or commercial properties. They are required to handle their waste using private waste collection services or by self-hauling to the Waste Management Facility. Owners of these properties are responsible for private waste collection in accordance with the Waste Management Bylaw.
Organic Waste
Organic waste is not allowed in your regular garbage. All multiple housing developments and commercial food service establishments are required to have organic waste collection through the City’s commercial organics collection program. This mandatory program provides weekly collection of organic waste using either green curbside carts or large volume (2 and 3-yard) green bins.
In addition to the mandatory program, non-food service businesses can enrol in the commercial organics collection program on a voluntary basis.
For more information or to enrol in the commercial organics collection program, contact the Water & Waste Environmental Coordinator at 867-689-5169 or [email protected].
Note: The commercial organics collection program operates on its own weekly collection schedule!

Why sort waste?
Sorting your waste reduces the cost of disposal and helps conserve landfill airspace. Unsorted waste is subject to higher tipping fees. When materials are separated, we create opportunities for recycling and composting. Diverting organics to our compost facility reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the landfill.
