Do not place materials on top of or behind snowbanks – it makes it difficult for the collection staff to access and causes recycling or waste to spill onto the roadway. In these cases, waste materials placed on and/or behind snowbanks may not be picked up.

During heavy snowfalls, waste materials must be set back from the curb approximately 0.9 metres (three feet) and placed on the right side of the driveway (when facing the house). This set out helps prevent waste materials from being knocked over or buried during snow clearing operations.

Bins are placed neatly, in a horizontal line, across the driveway on the owner’s property and away from snowbanks and the curb.
