Our curbside inspector is out in the community, ensuring people are sorting their waste properly.

The inspector examines the garbage bags, blue bags and compost carts checking to see that items are sorted correctly, and recyclables have been rinsed. If there are incorrectly placed items, either a 'friendly reminder' is put on the doorknob or in the mailbox (for bags with just a couple mistakes); or a rejection sticker is put on the bag or cart which notifies the driver of the collection truck not to pick it up as it needs further attention from the resident. 

If you recieve a rejection sticker, follow the instructions on the sticker to properly sort the waste, re-bag it, and put it out for your next collection.

We can all make mistakes, so this program helps ensure as many items are recycled or composted as possible and educates residents who might be confused about where certain items belong.

If you have questions, download our brochures on the left-hand site of the webpage, or give us a call at 543-2991.
