Where should I put my bin?
And what size of bin do I need?
As a general rule, when choosing a size of bin, you should choose one that is not too large or heavy for you to put out by the edge of the road to be emptied.
To meet the requirements of the applicable bylaw, the bin must be positioned:
- in an easily-accessible location.
- no more than 10 meters from a public road navigable by waste collection vehicles.
- The ground under the bin, and the access paths leading to it, must be hard enough that the bins cannot sink into the ground.
- There must be no steps on the paths leading to the bin.
- The paths leading to the bin must have an incline of no more than five percent.
