Clarence-Rockland Garbage Schedule: Check Today, Read the 2026 Recycling PDF and Plan a Bourget Landfill Trip
Start with bciti+ to confirm the collection date for your civic address. Use Circular Materials’ separate 2026 PDF to determine whether the recycling stream is containers or paper and fibre. This guide also explains weekly garbage limits, extra tags, yard waste, missed pickups, bulky items, landfill hours, the annual 140 kg allowance and current 2026 disposal fees.
Quick Answer: Which Clarence-Rockland Waste Service Do You Need?
Garbage, recycling and landfill information come from separate systems. Opening the correct service first prevents wrong-date and wrong-stream mistakes.
Use bciti+ and City information
Search the exact civic address for personalized dates, reminders, collection notices and municipal service requests.
Use Circular Materials
The 2026 calendar identifies the weekly container or paper-and-fibre stream. Miller Waste handles local collection support.
Use the City landfill page
Check seasonal hours, the resident allowance, sorting rules, accepted materials and current fees before driving.
Garbage is collected weekly, but the weekday depends on the address. Rockland, Bourget, Clarence Creek, Hammond, Cheney, Saint-Pascal-Baylon and rural roads must use their own civic-address result.

Residential waste notifications moved from ReCollect to bciti+ on January 1, 2026. Do not depend on an old ReCollect reminder, a neighbour’s routine or an archived PDF.

“My address is [address]. The missed service is [garbage/recycling/yard waste]. It was placed out at [time] on [date]. The tag said [reason/no tag]. Nearby homes were [collected/not collected].”
Bulky Items, Heavy Furniture and Mattress Pickup
Items weighing more than 50 lb require the City’s bulky-item service. Purchase a tag and confirm the monthly pickup timing before roadside placement.
$21 per item

Clarence-Rockland Residential Fall Cleanup 2026
The City says the programme will return in 2026, but the current waste hub does not yet publish confirmed dates or a final set-out map.
Dates are still to be announced
Do not use a 2023, 2024 or 2025 cleanup date as the 2026 schedule.
Store items safely
Do not create an early roadside pile. Use regular bulky pickup or the landfill when the item cannot wait.
Read sorting and volume rules
Cleanup material may require separate metal, recycling, yard waste and garbage piles.
Past programmes have changed between zone-based collection and regular-day collection. Use the new 2026 notice when it is published.

Open Schedule EClarence-Rockland Garbage Schedule FAQ
How do I check the Clarence-Rockland garbage schedule today?
Open bciti+ and select the correct civic address. Confirm today’s service and check for a holiday, weather, road or route notice before placing material roadside.
Is there a full Clarence-Rockland garbage schedule 2026 PDF map?
No verified standalone full-year garbage route map is published. The City calendar is labelled 2025–26, bciti+ provides current address information, and Circular Materials publishes a full 2026 recycling calendar.
How do I read the 2026 recycling PDF?
Confirm your address’s normal collection weekday, find the date in the PDF and follow its colour. Dark blue means containers; light aqua means paper and fibre.
How many garbage bags or cans can I place out?
The regular limit is three 90-litre bags or cans, or a combination totalling three. Each unit must weigh no more than 23 kg. Additional bags require $2.50 City tags.
When is Rockland yard waste pickup?
Accepted leaf, branch and yard waste is collected weekly from April through November on the same collection day as garbage and recycling. Place it out after 6 p.m. the previous evening or before 7 a.m.
Who handles a missed collection?
Contact the City at 613-446-6022 for garbage or yard waste. Contact Miller Waste at 1-888-852-2374 or area2@millerwaste.ca for missed residential recycling and replacement containers.

No. Both use 2335 Lalonde Road, but Circular Materials publishes separate recycling-depot hours. Verify both schedules when taking paid waste and recycling in one trip.

Each eligible residential address receives up to 140 kg per calendar year without the normal weight charge. Bring photo ID and proof of residency. Only one address is accepted per load, and multiple visits may be used.
How much do extra bags, bulky items and mattresses cost?
The 2026 fee schedule lists extra bags at $2.50, bulky-item pickup at $21 and mattress landfill disposal at $31. Confirm the final curbside mattress total because the City’s published breakdown is inconsistent.
