Waste Management

The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is responsible for the collection of garbage and recycling. 

All residents receive:

• weekly collection of garbage, maximum of 6 bags or cans per week
• weekly or bi-weekly collection of recyclables
• once per month collection of large items

If you receive weekly blue box recycling collection:

• you will now receive curbside bi-weekly yard waste collection from April-November
• you will receive curbside Christmas tree collection

Please review the collection map below to determine your collection day.

Outlined dashed areas indicate areas that receive weekly recycling collection. All other areas receive bi-weekly recycling collection.

You can pick up a Collection Calendar at the Township Office: 1171 Greenfield Rd. Monday to Friday. 8:30a.m. - 4:30p.m. or call us at 519-883-5100 to have one mailed to you.
