On
October 1st, 2007, waste and recycling collection began and is
provided to all households in the Township. Collection occurs on all public
roads. Residents on public roads (Township, County, Hwy 15) receive
curbside pickup at the end of their driveway year-round. Residents on private
roads receive collection service at the nearest intersection of a public
road (see list on pages 9-12 for your location) from October to May.
Starting
the May long weekend (until Thanksgiving), curbside waste and recycling
collection will be provided down most seasonal/private roads for the
summer season. After Thanksgiving, private roads will again receive pickup at
the nearest intersection of a public road until the following May.
The
questions and answers below provide more details about how the program works.
If you have any specific questions and cannot find answers on this website,
please contact the Township office at 1-800-928-2250 x 230.
Why
provide collection Township-wide?
§
It’s Council’s intention to
provide uniform service to all Township residents
§
To promote waste diversion and
recycling
§
To extend the limited remaining
life of our landfill site
How
is this going to work?
§
WASTE - Weekly, on your scheduled day (see attached info), you may
place up to 2 bags of garbage (with a current bag tag on each) at the
end of your driveway for pickup (unless an alternate location has been
specified for you, see pages 9-12). Garbage must be in clear (no colour)
bags that weigh no more than 40 pounds (18 kg) each.
§
RECYCLING - Weekly, on a specific day (for most people the same day as
your waste), you may place as many as 10 blue recycling bags out for pickup (no
tags required). Recycling must be in transparent blue bags. Continue
sorting your recycling as you currently do. Please put all cans and plastics
into one bag, papers/cardboard into another and glass into another. Cardboard
may be bundled & tightly TIED AND PLACED beside your bags (you don’t have
to put cardboard in a bag).
§
Please place all bags at the end
of your driveway. Do not cross the road to set bags out for collection. Please
ensure that your garbage/recycling is visible to the driver (not behind a
mailbox or tree).
What
time do I have to have my waste and recycling out?
§
ALL bags must be out by 7:00 am on
the morning of your scheduled collection day. If it’s out later than 7:00 am,
you may miss your pickup for that week. The truck will not come back to pick up
missed garbage that was out late.
What
about the landfills?
§
The Portland Landfill Site on Old
Kingston Road remains open Wednesday and Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm.
§
When you visit the Landfill Site
to dispose of waste, you will be charged $198.00 per tonne ($0.09 per pound) with
a minimum $10.00 charge per visit.
§
Compost, recycling, scrap metal
and most tires are free of charge.
§
There is a tipping fee for brush
at $21 for a full half ton truck/single axle trailer load.
I
live on a private road, when and how do I get pickup?
§
From Thanksgiving to Victoria Day,
you can place your bags at the end of your private road (not driveway) where it
meets the nearest public road for pickup. Bag limits and bag tag requirements
still apply.
§
Starting the Tuesday after Victoria
Day, most residents on private roads will receive collection at the end of
their driveway. Only a few private roads will not receive curbside pickup at
this time due to inaccessibility and other reasons. Maps and schedules can be
found below or contact the Township office (1-800-928-2250 x 230). The Tuesday
following Thanksgiving is the last day for collection down private roads.
Following this, service will again revert to collection at the nearest public road.
Composting
§
In order to reduce the amount of
waste you put out at the curb, the Township encourages you to divert as much
waste as possible through recycling and composting. The Township sells backyard
composters for $35.00 (no tax) each.
What about bag tags and where can I get them?
§
All garbage bags must have
a current curbside bag tag affixed to it to receive pickup.
§
You must buy bag tags (available
at locations throughout the Township) for $2.00 (no tax) each in sheets of 10.
See the Bag Tag
page on our website.
What
can I recycle?
§
You can recycle plastics #1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, as well as aluminum/metal cans, paper, boxboard, cardboard, etc. A
full and complete list is available on the recycling section on our
website or call the Township office. Please make sure to separate your
containers (cans, plastics) from your papers (cardboard, paper, etc.) and from
your glass, and place in separate bags. See the sorting guide in this document
or the recycling page
on the township website for sorting information.
I
live on an island, where can I get rid of my waste/recycling?
§
Starting on the Sunday of the May
long weekend, you may bring your waste and recycling to several harbour/marina
locations throughout the Township for disposal. A Township truck will be parked
at the locations listed below on Sunday evenings during the summer. See next
paragraph for holiday schedule changes. Bag tag requirements still apply.
Please do not leave any garbage or recycling when the truck is not there, as
this will be considered a fineable offence.
§
Locations for Sunday Evening
Island Collection (for island residents only):
Newboro Harbour: 4pm – 8pm
Portland Harbour: 4pm – 8 pm
Glover’s Road Boat Launch: 4pm – 8pm
Franklin Road: 4pm - 8pm
Lower Beverley Lake Park Boat Launch: 4pm - 8pm
Forrester's Landing Boat Launch: 3:30pm - 3:45pm
The last four scheduled Sundays of the season for
island collection will be 4pm to 6pm (instead of to 8pm) due to decrease in usage
and available daylight hours.
Stat
Holidays
§
When a holiday (statutory or
civic) falls on a weekday, the entire collection schedule moves forward one
day. (Christmas time may vary)
§
For example, if you have
collection on a Tuesday and there is a statutory holiday on that Monday, your
pickup day becomes Wednesday for that week. The next week, everything is back
to normal.
§
If a holiday falls on a Saturday
or Sunday, the schedule is not affected (even for island residents).
§
Check this website or your Rideau
Lake’s calendar for changes to the Christmas holiday schedule each year.
My
garbage wasn’t picked up this week, why?
§
There may be several reasons why
your garbage wasn’t picked up:
a.
Not in plain view of driver
(hidden behind an obstacle)
b.
Not out by 7:00 am on day of
pickup
c.
No bag tags (or the wrong bag tag)
on your garbage
d.
Too much recycling in your garbage
bag
e.
Material is not bagged properly
f.
Your garbage bag is over the 18kg
(40 lbs) weight limit
g.
Your garbage is not in a clear (no
colour) bag
h.
Your recycling is not separated
and in a blue clear bag
i.
Dogs are running loose and the
driver didn’t feel it was safe to stop and get out (tie up your dog on pickup
day)
j.
garbage and recycling was mixed
together
k.
cans, plastics, papers, cardboard,
glass were all mixed together
l.
glass still had lids on them (lids
belong in the metal/plastics bag)
m.
recycling was not cleaned properly
(items such as used tissues and paper towels are garbage, not recycling).
§
If your garbage/recycling was out
by 7:00 am and got left behind, the driver will leave an orange tag to explain
the reason why it was not picked up. You may call the Township Office if you
have any questions at 1-800-928-2250 x 230.
General
Information
§
If you set your bags out the night
before, the Township recommends that the bags are placed in an animal proof
container. Any bags that have been torn open will not be picked up. Any
scattered material will be the responsibility of the owner and will not be
cleaned up by the Township.
§
Each household is responsible for
purchasing their own garbage (clear) bags and recycling (blue) bags. These can
be obtained at many local retailers.
I
have a question, who do I call?
§ Questions and concerns should be directed to the
Township office: 1-800-928-2250 ext. 230.

When Do I Have Pickup?
Collection will occur throughout
the Township from Monday to Thursday each week. All private roads (except South
Elmsley) will receive collection on MONDAY throughout the year. More information
on private roads can be found on the website.
The scheduled days for all public
roads in the Township are as follows on the map below. The following hamlets
will receive collection on Thursdays: Newboro, Elgin, Delta, Portland.
If you live on the border between
Tuesday and Wednesday on Narrows Lock Road, Chaffeys Lock Road, and a small
portion of County Road 42, your pickup day will depend on what side of the road
you live on. If you live on the North-West side of any of the above roads, you
will receive pickup on Tuesday. If you live on the South-East side of any of
the above roads, you will receive pickup on Wednesday (see map below).
|
RED = Tuesday collection
|
GREEN = Wednesday collection
|
BLUE = Thursday collection

Private
Roads
Private
roads (except South Elmsley) will receive collection service on Mondays throughout the year (see the South Elmsley schedule
on the website or refer to your Rideau Lakes calendar).
From
mid-October to mid-May each year, private roads will receive collection at the
nearest intersection of their private road and a public road (see list below).
From
Victoria Day to Thanksgiving each year, most (see below) private roads will
receive curbside collection at the end of their driveway. Several private roads
will continue to receive service at the nearest public road intersection
because of road accessibility and other reasons. If you are unsure of where you
receive pickup after reading the list below, please contact the Township at
1-800-928-2250 x 230.
An
easy way to remember where you have collection as a private road resident:
If
it’s between Victoria Day and Thanksgiving (summer), you will have collection
at the end of your driveway.
If
it’s between Thanksgiving and Victoria Day (winter), you will have collection
at the end of your private road at the location specified below.
