Due to Christmas Day and New Year’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, there are no changes to the regular curbside collection schedule.
Households may place out two extra bags or cans of garbage without a tag on their curbside collection day in their garbage collection week following Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Residents in single family homes and apartments with six units or less will be able to put out four bags of garbage:
- Dec. 27-31: Fort Erie, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Pelham, St. Catharines, Thorold, Wainfleet and West Lincoln
- Jan. 3-7: Grimsby, Lincoln, Niagara Falls, Port Colborne and Welland
All materials must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day.
If your property is an Industrial, Commercial, Institutional or a Mixed-Use building within a Designated Business Area that receives collection on Saturday and/or Sunday (St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake), your collection will be delayed by one day. In lieu of Christmas Day, collection will occur on Sunday, Dec. 26. In lieu of regular Sunday collection, collection will occur on Monday, Dec. 27.
