Garbage and Recycling

Garbage Collection is a function of the Niagara Region Municipality. Garbage collection is once every week. We will only accept regular household garbage in an acceptable bag or container.

All materials (garbage, recycling, large household items, leaf and yard waste) must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day.

Please note that the Region's Waste Management Bylaw states that individuals must NOT set out waste to the curb for collection before 5:00 p.m. the night before your scheduled collection day.

Garbage Collection Schedule

Organics

The Niagara Region Municipality runs organic material collection. Approximately one-third of your household waste is organic, including kitchen scraps, leaves and yard trimmings (grass clippings NOT accepted). Join the Niagara Region's Green Bin (organic collection) program to help reduce the amount of waste in landfills.

You are turning waste into a resource by using your Green Bin and placing your leaf and yard waste to the curb. The organic material becomes valuable compost that you can use on lawns and gardens.
