Solid Waste and Recycling Survey

Victoria County wants to hear from residents about solid waste and recycling services.

We are conducting a survey to better understand how residents access information about waste collection.

The survey is open to:

  • Year-round residents
  • Seasonal residents
  • Recreational property owners

Feedback collected through the survey will help the Municipality improve how waste and recycling information is shared and support future decisions related to waste and recycling services.

The survey will remain open until July 31, 2026.
