Winter Recycling and Waste Collection Reminders
For the safety of your waste collector, never put your waste on top of a snowbank. Please place it on level ground.
Position all waste collection containers within 1 metre, or no more than 3 feet, from the roadway.
Keep sidewalks clear of waste containers for the safety of pedestrians and out of the way of any maintenance equipment, like plows.

Seasonal Parking Changes
The Town’s Traffic Bylaw prohibits overnight parking on all streets from November 15 - March 31, from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
This allows snowplow operators to safely and efficiently remove snow from local roadways.
