Posted on: May 23, 2025

GARBAGE BEST PRACTICES FOR RENTALS

The designated garbage collection day will be every Thursday. To ensure efficient and timely collection, we kindly request your cooperation with the following guidelines:

  • Placement Time: Please ensure your garbage is placed outside before 7:00 AM on Thursday.
  • Bagging Requirements: All trash must be securely contained in bags. Loose trash cannot be collected.
  • Appropriate Sorting: Please ensure you are disposing of items correctly. Recyclable materials should be placed in a clear plastic sealed bag and placed one meter away from the garbage.
  • Temporary Bin Labels: All garbage cans will be labelled in due course by Housing and P&E. We appreciate your patience during this transition. In the interim, please utilize the garbage cans located in your area.
  • Special Item Pick-Up Service: You are free to haul items to the dump. If unable for the disposal of large items such as bed frames, P&E offers an additional on-call pick-up service. To arrange a random pick-up for these items, please call Public Work at 250-319-7803.
