6. Practice Social
Distancing
Keep your physical
distance from the waste
collectors.
You can still say hello from
two metres (six feet) away.

7. Spring
Cleaning
Many residents may want to use their
time at home to get a jump on spring
cleaning.
But, placing large amounts of garbage
puts a strain on the waste collectors
during these unprecedented times.
Do your part and help ensure these front
line workers can get home safely and in a
reasonable time to be with their families.

8. Help make waste
collection safer for
front-line staff.
Place used tissues and other
organic material, in paper bags or
certified compostable bags. Bags
must be tied before being placed in
the mini bin so they don't fall out.
Garbage shouldn't be loose in
garbage containers and should be
bagged.

9. Hold on to your large
household items
If you need to dispose
of a large item, you can
take the item to
a Regional landfill
site for disposal.

11. If you or a member of
your household is sick,

double-bagged and
tightly sealed and
placed into the regular
