Garbage and Recycling
Quick Links
When are bins picked up?
Black carts are picked up weekly. The majority of the ward gets picked up on Thursdays and Fridays. Blue carts are picked up every two weeks, but not necessarily the same day of the week every time. Please note holidays may impact pick-up schedules.
Requesting New Bins
Requests for new bins take approximately 2-3 weeks to fulfill. Please feel free to reach out to our office if your request has been outstanding for 5 or more weeks, so that we can follow-up with the department to check on the status. There is no charge for the addition or removal of carts.
Who gets city trash and recycling pick up?
Single family homes and two and three flats are eligible for city garbage and recycling pick up. Large residential buildings, non-profits, and commercial buildings must provide their own trash pick-up and recycling services.
