Multi-Residences & Commercial Businesses

What to do with waste, organic waste, and recyclables:

General Waste

The City does not provide general waste collection services to multi-unit buildings (5 units or more) or commercial businesses. They are required to handle their waste using commercial services or self-hauling. However, the City provides information and resources to building owners and managers to manage general waste at apartments, condos, and businesses.

Organic Waste

Since 2020, all multi-unit residential properties with 5 or more units (e.g., condos snd apartment buildings)  and commercial businesses (e.g. food industry) are required to enroll in the Commercial Organics Collection program. With the Commercial Organics Collection, all multi-unit properties and commercial businesses can choose between ordering either Green Carts or Green Bins (2-yard or 3-yard) from the City to participate in the weekly collection program. Contact Water and Waste Services at 867-689-2325 or [email protected] to enroll or for more information.

Note: The Commercial Organics Collection program operates separately from the Residential Curbside Collection program and is on its own weekly collection schedule!

Recyclables

Recyclable materials can be self-hauled to the City’s Recycling Depot, located at the Waste Management Facility. Residents can drop off non-refundable recycling for $1 per bag/container (maximum 90 litres per bag/container).
