Curbside Cart Collection Calendar | ||||||
The Township of Southgate utilizes a no-touch system for the collection of your recycle, waste and compost materials by providing carts for residents and businesses that are tipped on a weekly basis by our collection trucks. Carts must be at the curbside by 7:00 AM on your scheduled pick up day and should be placed 1 metre apart at the grass line or in your laneway. The green compost cart is collected every week, and the blue recycle cart and grey garbage carts are collected on alternating weeks. Due to our no-touch system, if your materials are not contained in the individual cart, the truck will not dispose of those items. Only items that are in the cart will be taken. 2024 Cart Collection Schedule & Zone Pick-up Map 2024 Transfer Station Information and Sorting Guide |
