Curbside Collection Survey

Council would like to inform residents the Village will be re-evaluating current curbside collection practices including the allocation of complimentary curbside collection tags. 

The Province is implementing ‘full producer responsibility” for waste management by 2025. This will change waste and recycling practices throughout Ontario. 

Council is taking the opportunity to consult with members of the public to gather information that will assist us with future decisions and considerations. Please take a moment to complete this short survey to provide feedback as to how you currently manage your waste and inform of us of how you would like to see collection move in a more responsible direction. The Village will have to provide information to the Province for the final implementation plans and we need your input. Let your voice be heard. 



The Village would like to remind residents that the cost of curbside collection continues to increase annually. Since 2019 Village collection costs have increased by $2,400 and waste disposal has significantly increased by $4,524. The Village strongly encourages its residents to responsibly participate in our recycling program. When residents do not rinse out containers, leave food and other garbage in containers prior to placing items in the Blue Box, items are deemed “contaminated” and are immediately discarded back into the waste steam. Containers that have been used to store cigarette butts or bacon fat, should not be placed in the Blue Box for recycling. 

 Contaminated items decrease the rebate received for Blue Box materials sold to producers for reuse and add to the cost of the curbside collection. This increased cost is a direct burden to residents of $6,600 a year.
