Waste Collection Changes in 2020
January 2020: Electronics: Countertop Microwaves, E-Book Readers, GPS Devices, Video Game Systems & Controllers, External Hard Drives, Optical
Drives and Modems added to the electronics recycling program. Items will be banned from landfill as of March 1, 2020. Drop them off at the
Community Recycling Centre or any registered electronics recycling depot.
January 2020: Oil and Glycol Recycling: New stewardship program will recycle used oil, glycol (antifreeze) and diesel exhaust fluid containers of 50 litres
or less (including containers for automotive parts cleaners and aerosol lubricants). Items will be banned from landfill as of March 1, 2020. Drop these
items off at the Community Recycling Centre. Questions, call 1-833-222-8662. Garages: get on-site collection, call (902) 662-2692. Antifreeze and oil jugs
will still be accepted in the blue bag (with cap on), if residents do not wish to drop them off.

April 1, 2020: Bulky landfill items will be collected every two weeks on your regular collection day. Items such as couches, mattresses, box springs,
upholstered chairs, rugs, vacuum cleaners, plastic lawn furniture, toilets, sinks and windows will be collected. Items curbside no sooner than 5:00 pm,
the day before pick up. Each item may weigh up to 100 kgs (220 lbs) and measure up to 1.8m (6ft) long.

April 1, 2020: Two trucks will collect your waste on your collection day. One truck will pick up garbage, bulky landfill items and green cart waste.
Another truck will collect blue bag recyclables, paper and cardboard. Collection starts at 7:00 am.
Fall 2020: Wood and Metal Collection will take place once a year. Items will be picked up during a two-week period, on your regular collection day.
Wood and metal will not be collected in spring. Each household can put out a combined volume of 4 cubic metres of wood and metal items, which can
be measured 2 metres (6.5 feet) x 2 metres (6.5 feet) x 1 metre (3.2 feet). Each item may weigh up to 140 kgs (308 lbs) and be up to 1.8m (6ft) long.
Wood and metal items will not be collected with bulky landfill waste. A separate collection for these reusable wastes will keep them out of landfill.
Spring and Fall Clean Up will be replaced with bi-weekly bulky landfill collection and fall wood and metal collection.
Fall 2020: Curbside Electronics Collection will take place once every year, in the fall. Electronics will be collected during a two-week period. Each
household can put out three electronics for pick up on their regular collection day during that time. Do not smash electronics as you put them roadside.
Electronics must be dropped off at a depot during the rest of the year.
Leaf and Yard Waste: residents are encouraged to reduce plastic waste by using heavy kraft paper bags for leaf and yard waste. Switching from plastic
to paper leaf bags will also reduce plastic contamination in the organics stream.
Plastic Shopping Bags: A Provincial single-use plastic bag ban has been proposed. Residents are encouraged to stop using plastic shopping bags for
paper collection at the curbside. Other bags may be reused for paper collection. Clear, colourless bags will still be accepted for collection. Reduce plastic
in your household, take reusable bags with you when you shop. Buy in bulk to reduce packaging waste.
