Garbage

 

Provide your feedback on source separated organics

Organic waste is defined as any plant or animal-based material that is biodegradable, meaning that it breaks down into carbon dioxide, methane, or simple organic molecules over time. Examples of organic waste include food waste or yard trimmings. The purpose of this survey is to engage with residents on current waste practices and to collect feedback on potential source separated organic waste programs.

Pickup schedules

If you live in mainland Loyalist Township, your garbage is picked up on the same day each week, depending on your area. This map shows the collection areas (select map for larger version). 

Collection schedule map

Map legend

  • Pink – Area 1 – Tuesday
  • Blue – Area 2 – Wednesday
  • Green – Area 3 – Thursday

Garbage is picked up every week. Pickup is done by Waste Connections, the Township's contractor. We publish the collection schedule in the Township's municipal calendar. 

What if a schedule changes?

Your pickup day may change if a holiday overlaps with a regular collection day. Sometimes your pickup will be earlier than you're used to. We print regular schedules and changes in our calendar, and changes are listed on our website.

My garbage wasn't collected

Review the garbage pickup rules below. If you're not sure why your garbage was missed, call our office at 613-386-7351, ext. 116.

Garbage pickup rules

  • Garbage must be at the curb by 7 a.m. and is usually picked up by 5 p.m.
  • You can put it out at 6:30 p.m. or later the night before.
  • Every bag needs a bag tag.
  • Each bag must weigh no more than 18 Kg (40 lbs).
  • The largest bag size is 75 cm x 95 cm (30” x 38”).
  • The largest container size is 77 litres (17 gallons).

Amherst Island residents

If you live on Amherst Island, please take your garbage and recycling to the Amherst Island landfill. Garbage must be tagged or tipping fees will apply.

Bag tags

We have a “pay as you throw” system for garbage, meaning that you need to purchase garbage bag tags. Every bag of garbage needs a bag tag when it's put out at the curb. Garbage bag tags are $2.50 each, and we sell them for $25 for a sheet of ten tags.
