Current Collection Week
Garbage collection is bi-weekly, or every other week.
For the purpose of curbside pick-up, the Municipality is divided into 5 zones with pick-up occurring in one of the zones each day Monday through Friday. Each zone is further split in 2 for alternating garbage collection. On the collection calendar this is reflected as Garbage Week 1 and Garbage Week 2.
To determine what week your garbage will be picked up please refer to the collection schedule and calendar.
