The sites will re-open on Saturday, November 28 at 9:00am. This will be the final Saturday the sites will be open in 2020.

Additional Information Regarding Holiday Collections
In order to collect refuse and recycling from two collection districts in a single shift, the Streets Division diverts crews from other services such as leaf collection and large item collection. Therefore, residents anticipating large item collection or leaf collection may experience delays.
