- Garbage carts must have at least one metre of clearance on all sides, including from other garbage carts, vehicles and other obstructions.
Cul-De-Sac Collection:
Collection in cul-de-sacs can be challenging due to limited space. If you live in a cul-de-sac your instructions for garbage collection differ slightly from regular collection.
Ensure vehicles are parked either on your driveway or in your garage on collection day, and that any other obstacles (like basketball hoops) are moved off the street.
If your vehicle has to remain on the street, make sure it is parallel parked, with passenger-side tires to the curb. This ensures the collection truck can reach your carts — and that it has space to actually drive through your cul-de-sac.
Garbage carts should be placed on the street, 1 metre past any parked vehicles.
What if I have Extra Garbage?
If you have extra bagged garbage that will not fit in the garbage cart, bag tags are available for purchase.
Bag Tags may be purchased at the Town office reception for $2.00 per tag.
GFL will not collect extra bags of garbage unless they have a tag on each bag.
Bag tags must be placed to be easily visible to the GFL driver.
Garbage Cart Damage
Garbage carts damaged by the collection company during the collection process will be replaced or repaired at no cost to the resident. Bin repairs or replacements can be requested by calling the Town Office.
Garbage carts damaged in other incidents are the responsibility of the resident.
