How to Put Out Garbage, Recycling or Organics Correctly

1. Use the correct bin

Blue is recycling. Green is organics. Household waste uses your own compliant grey or black container.

2. Face it toward home

Place the wheels and handle toward your residence so the collection arm can access the bin correctly.

3. Leave clearance

Leave at least 30 cm around bins, 45 cm for larger containers and about 60 cm from cars, hydrants or other obstacles where possible.

4. Close the lid

Keep material inside, remove snow from the lid and do not place bags or objects on top.

Set-out time

After 6 p.m. or before 7 a.m.

  • Set out after 6 p.m. the evening before.
  • Or place it out before 7 a.m. on collection day.
  • Keep it on your property at the road edge.
  • Do not place it in the street or on the sidewalk.
  • Bring it back by 10 p.m. after collection.
Common rejection causes

Why a correctly dated bin may be missed

  • Wrong bin colour or collection stream.
  • American-grip wheeled garbage bin.
  • Open lid or material sticking out.
  • Overweight container.
  • Parked car, snowbank or hydrant blocking access.
  • Prohibited material in the load.
