Garbage Collection Guidelines

Households
• Each household may place up to two (2) standard-sized clear garbage bags at the curb each week.

Businesses
• Businesses may place up to four (4) standard-sized clear garbage bags at the curb each week.
• If your business produces more than four bags per week, please arrange service with a private waste contractor.

Collection Timing
• Garbage must be placed at the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on collection day.
• Do not place garbage out the night before to help prevent issues with wildlife.

Note: OSM implemented a clear bag program in 2020.

**Waste Connections of Canada is not responsible for garbage torn open by animals, and homeowners/businesses must clean up any roadside litter caused by opened bags.

Waste Exemption for Medical Reasons

If a resident with a medical condition has the probability to generate excess amounts of non-hazardous waste beyond their control, they can apply for an exemption from the maximum weekly established limit for curbside pick-up.
