WASTE COLLECTION (Residential)

WHEN IS CURBSIDE WASTE COLLECTION?

Curbside waste pick-up takes place on Tuesday of every week. All waste containers must be placed out before 7:00 am and may not be left out the night before.

DO I NEED TO PURCHASE GARBAGE TAGS?

Effective July 1, 2024, the Township of Schreiber will use a Pay-As-You-Throw system for curbside waste collection. Each bag tag will cost $2.50, and must be attached to the inside of each approved container on the top garbage bag, easily visible to the waste collection person.

***If individual bags are placed at the curb for collection the EACH BAG WILL NEED A BAG TAG.

Garbage tags can be purchased at the Schreiber Municipal Complex Office.

WHAT ARE THE APPROVED CONTAINERS FOR WASTE COLLECTION?

To prevent wildlife issues, a waste container must be used for curbside waste pick-up. For a container to be approved it must be constructed from plastic or metal and have a tight-fitting lid, carrying handles and capable of being sanitized. Approved containers will have a maximum volume of 121 litres (or less) and weigh no more than 18 kgs when collected.

CAN I DROP OFF MY WASTE AT THE LANDFILL?

Yes, you can drop off your waste at the Terrace Bay Landfill—there is a cost associated for residents and businesses. The rules and requirements for waste are the same for both businesses and residents.
