Set out garbage after 5pm (4pm on Fridays from October to April) on the holiday for collection beginning the next day, which may occur earlier or later than normal collection. Recyclables should not be put out until the next week. When there are back to back holidays (e.g. two Monday holidays in a row), recyclables will be collected after the second holiday.
During snow emergencies, residents may experience disruption in service.
For information on when to place your refuse and recyclables out for collection, go to the Collection Schedule.
