Spring Clean-Up 2026

Council has set disposal site hours for spring clean-up days as:
Saturday May 23, 2026 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday May 24, 2026 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

During these days, household waste may be disposed of at no charge. Business waste is excluded. Please do not put recyclable material in the land fill. We kindly ask that everyone breaks down cardboard boxes before placing them in the recycling bins - boxes left intact take up excess space and are considered contamination, which can increase costs for taxpayers.

Recycling Program

Four recycling bins in four different colors with recycling symbol on each

New Recycling Program

Please use the link below to explore the new and expanded recycling program which came into effect on January 1, 2026:
