Garbage

Most 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. Excess garbage must display an Extra Garbage sticker on each 80L can or bag of garbage next to the Township provided cart to be collected. Stickers are available for purchase for $3.50 each at the Township Civic Facility, all community and recreation centres, and several local retailers. Learn more about Extra Garbage stickers.

2) Additional Carts

Properties that regularly produce excess garbage may obtain up to two (2) additional garbage carts for their property. Additional fees will be applied to your annual tax notice. A $50 administration fee will also apply per cart delivered.
