This year Heavy Garbage Day is starting on the galactically themed day May The Fourth Be With You.

Heavy garbage collection will begin on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 6 a.m. Crews will travel across the municipality from that date onward until all areas have been completed.

Important timing details:

• Set your items out by 6:00 a.m. on May 4, 2026.
• Each area is visited only once.
• If your items are not out on time or are placed out after your area has been collected, they will not be picked up.

What to expect:
Heavy garbage collection will be carried out by a third-party contractor. Collection routes and timing may vary from previous years, so it’s especially important to have your items ready on the start date.

Before placing your items at the curb, please review the guidelines below to ensure your materials are accepted for collection.
