Multi-Residential Collection

Multi-residential buildings are defined as residences with six or more units.  Provincial legislation requires property managers of buildings with six or more units to operate a building recycling program if the building is located in a municipality with a population of at least 5,000.

Collection begins at 7:00 a.m.

Property managers, if you are uncertain of your building’s curbside waste set out limits, please contact City staff.

There is no limit on the amount of recyclables your building can put out curbside in 65 and 95 gallon roll-out carts.

Collection Musts!

Please ensure all container recycling is rinsed of all residues.

Make sure all cardboard is broken down into manageable bundles no larger than the size of a green box.  Maximum size 2ft X 2ft X 2ft or 61cm X 61cm X 61cm.

Oversized materials hinder the operation of collection vehicles and will be left behind. Bagged recycling will not be collected.

Too much garbage and recycling?

If your business or multi-residential building is producing more than the weekly set out limit there are private waste haulers who are equipped to handle the larger quantities.  The City’s waste By-law 2007-024 ensures that as much waste is diverted from the landfill as possible. All commercial waste haulers are familiar with the By-law and must comply in order to use City landfills.
