Set Out Instructions

  • Households may set out a maximum of 2 garbage "lifts" every week (See Acceptable Lift). 
  • There is a limit of four containers per week for Commercial garbage. 
  • This limit is doubled for the week immediately following Christmas.
  • Additional bags will be tagged and left behind.
  • Do not "over stuff" your garbage can with multiple garbage bags.  Overflowing garbage cans do not meet the definition of one lift.
