Collection Schedule for Garbage, Recycling and Yard Trimmings

Collection Schedule for 2010, January and February 2011

The schedules shown below are for garbage, recycling (blue box) and yard trimmings collected by City crews at single family, duplex and small apartments and townhouses. Garbage and recycling are collected every week. Yard trimmings are collected every second week, on the same day as your garbage and recycling.

How to Use the Schedule

In order to accommodate bi-weekly yard trimmings collection there are two collection schedules: the "North Schedule" and the "South Schedule." The schedule you use will depend on where you live.

We have provided two different formats for the garbage/recycling/yard trimmings collection schedule: an html format (shows the pickup days for your coloured zone only) and a pdf file which shows the schedule and map for all zones.

Instructions to view/download schedules:

  1. Click on either the North map or the South map to find out what schedule to use.
