Household Collections and Residual Materials 
How to Place Bins and Containers
Your wheeled bin, containers, leaf bags (during leaf collections), bulky items, and upholstered items must be placed in your driveway, at the edge of the public road, after 6 PM the night before or before 7 AM on the day of collection.
The wheels and handles of the wheeled bin should be facing your residence.
A space of 30 cm (1 ft) must be maintained around the bin or 45 cm if it is a container.
After Collection
Your bins must be removed by 10 PM on the day of collection. Outside of collection day, the bin should be stored where it is least visible from the street and least disruptive to neighboring properties.

The branches are collected regularly by Public Works teams. There is no need to contact Public Works to make a request. Please allow 21 days for this collection.
For quicker and more efficient service, please follow the instructions below:
- Branches must be placed at curbside on your property.
- The cut end of the branches must be facing the street in order to make them easier to collect.
- There must not be any debris (soil, roots, metal, etc.) on the branches.
- The branches must be 10 centimetres (4 inches) or less in diameter.
(Branches over 10 centimetres in diameter can be brought to the Ecocentre.) - The maximum height of all branch piles must be 1.2 metres (4 feet). Branches must be spread out instead of stacked whenever possible.
Branches cut off by a contractor hired to prune or fell a tree are the contractor’s responsibility. For ash trees, please consult a contractor.
