TOWNSHIP COLLECTION (excluding South Elmsley)

Collection will occur throughout the Township from Monday to Thursday each week. All private roads (regardless of where you live) will receive collection on MONDAY throughout the year. More information on private roads can be found below.

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   GREEN = Wednesday   BLUE = Thursday

WASTE & RECYCLING COLLECTION


Thursday - Household Waste & Recycling to be out by 7:00 am.


Animal Proof Containers

If you live in an area with a high concentration of wildlife, the Township encourages you to place your garbage and recycling in an animal "proof" container to discourage wildlife from tearing apart your bags before they are picked up. Many people have built small wooden boxes at the end of their laneway for this purpose.

Wondering where to start? The following links provide some ideas to get you rolling with an animal proof container:

Private Roads

Private roads will receive collection service on MONDAYS throughout the year.

From Victoria Day to Thanksgiving each year, most (see below) private roads will receive curbside collection on Mondays 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.

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 on Monday.

If it’s between Thanksgiving and Victoria Day (winter), you will have collection at the end of your private road on Monday at the location specified below.

SEASONAL CURBSIDE COLLECTION

The last day for Island pick up is Thanksgiving Sunday (4-6 pm)

The last day for seasonal pickup down private roads is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving Monday (No collection on Monday as it is a holiday). The following Monday, private road residents are required to bring their garbage and recycling to the location where the private meets the public road.

Attention: To all residents who live on a private road: If your private road is considered to be inaccessible by the Township, garbage and recycling must be transported by the occupant, to an area designated by the Township for collection, on your regularly scheduled day. Private roads must be plowed and sanded to ensure pick-up.

Garbage and recycling must be set out by 7:00 am. Pickup is for bagged Household waste and recycling only. All garbage bags must be tagged with a Rideau Lakes’ bag tag - clear bags only and the tag must be visible to ensure pickup. If the driver cannot easily see the tag, the bag may be left behind. There is a 2 bag limit for household garbage per week and a 40 lb limit per bag. All recycling material must be placed in clear blue bags - no sticker required.

TIE ALL BAGS

I live on an island, where can I get rid of my waste/recycling?
  • Beginning the Sunday following 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 from 4-8pm*. 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:
       - 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 five scheduled Sundays of the 2010 season for island collection will be 4pm to 6pm (instead of to 8pm) due to decrease in usage and available daylight hours. So Sept 12, Sept 19, Sept 26, Oct 3 and Oct 10 in 2010 will be 4pm – 6pm.  If the truck is not there, please leave your bagged (with a tag) household waste and recycling at the location and it will be picked up following 6pm.

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 out this website or the Township Calendar for changes to the Christmas holiday schedule each year.
