Frequently asked questions
| Why did the Township pre-select my cart size? |
| Standard cart sizes were chosen based on experience from other municipalities as well as tests carried out in 5 neighbourhoods across the Township. |
| What if my Green Cart or garbage cart is too small for the amount of waste our household produces? |
Green CartExtra yard trimmings may be put out in paper bags, or 80 L cans marked with a “Green Can”* or “Yard Trimmings” decal. Twigs and branches can be bundled using garden string or twine (no wire, nylon rope, or plastic strapping).
Additional Green Carts are not available, with exception of properties with an authorized secondary suite, coach house, or temporary mobile home, who may apply for a second (80L) Green Cart for their property. Administration fees will apply unless the request is during the dedicated exchange period. Submit a Cart Request. A $50 per cart administration fee may apply. GarbageMost properties can avoid additional fees by maximizing use of their Green Cart and recycling programs. 60-70% of household waste can be recycled or composted. If your property is still generating too much garbage for your cart, you can choose from the following options: 1) Extra Garbage stickers Properties that occasionally produce extra garbage may purchase Extra Garbage stickers.

Extra Garbage stickers are also available by mail. To order, call Township Customer Service at 604-534-3211. Important note: Extra garbage will only be collected on the weeks designated for garbage collection. 2) Additional Carts Properties that regularly produce excess garbage may obtain up to two (2) additional garbage carts for their property.
