Overall, this has been a success with carts lined up looking neat and tidy on garbage day. There has been a learning curve for some on how to properly place the cart so it can be emptied by the City truck. When carts are not placed properly we put stickers on the carts, and in some cases follow up with a visit by staff, to help educate how to properly place carts. Our staff have also visited residents to ensure they know what can be recycled at the curb which leaves more space in the cart for garbage. The feedback we’ve received about these staff visits are that residents appreciate them as it helps them understand the system much better and they learn that more items can be recycled. Carts • Hold four regular sized garbage bags approximately 60 cms x 90 cms (24 inches x 36 inches). • Each cart has a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag and individual serial numbers to identify the house to which the cart belongs. Residents who move must leave the cart behind as each cart is assigned to a property – not a person. • The carts are supplied at no additional charge. • If lost or stolen, residents will be charged the full recovery cost of $65 for the cart and $25 for delivery if needed. • Recycling and yard waste bags do not go in the cart and must be placed at minimum one metre from the cart. Residents Must: • Use the City-issued cart for garbage collection • Write their address in the white space provided on both sides of the cart • Keep the cart clean • Keep the cart secure • Place the cart properly for collection 10 New Gower St. • Leave the cart at the assigned property – if you move, leave the cart behind Keep Recycling Out The City’s curbside recycling program accepts lots of items and recycling them in blue bags provides more room in the cart for your garbage. Bulky items that can be recycled at the curb are: • Milk and juice cartons • Cereal and cracker boxes • Egg cartons • Cardboard • Tin cans • Plastic containers for food and cleaning supplies such as laundry detergent, bleach bottles and clamshell containers that salads, sandwiches and fruit come in Recycling all that you can will reduce your garbage. Remember that blue bags go outside of the cart with one metre (approximately three feet) clearance from the cart.
