Garden Recycling Drop-off & Webcam
2018 - 2019 Christmas tree chipping
Wondering what to do with your Christmas tree after the holidays? There are a number of Christmas tree chipping events that non-profit organizations hold every year. Trees are accepted and chipped by donation as a fundraiser. For more recycling ideas visit myrecyclopedia.ca
Do you have extra garden waste that won't fit in your organics cart?
Bring it to the Public Works operations yard at 1040 McKenzie Avenue year-round.
Avoid the line up!
Line ups happen, especially on Saturdays, the first day after long weekends and during spring and fall season clean up. Check the webcam before coming down to save time and avoid idling OR avoid the line up altogether and upsize or get a second organics cart.
(Webcam updates every 2 minutes)
If the line up is at the top of the hill, estimate a 30 minute wait.
