Access to waste materials during winter

It is important to ensure that collection contractors have full access to waste bins on collection days. Please make sure to:

• remove snow and ice from access roads and areas around the bins to provide a safe passage for employees;
• place the bins at the curb or in the lane in such a way that they will not interfere with the snow removal.

If the bins are not accessible due to snow and ice on collection days, it is the responsibility of residents and building managers to place the bins at the curb or in the lane to make them accessible to the City’s contractor. The latter could refuse to collect any bin deemed inaccessible.

Your cooperation will ensure an efficient waste collection and snow removal.
