Please refer to the Waste Collection Calendar and Information Guide https://brockville.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/City-of-Brockville-2024-Collection-Calendar.pdf for collection dates.

Winter Collection:

The winter months can be challenging for your waste and recycling collector. Following the suggestions below can make their job easier, safer, and more efficient, and will reduce late and missed collection:

• Place your waste at the end of your cleared driveway or shovelled out part of the boulevard.
• Waste should not be placed on the road or sidewalk as it creates a hazard for pedestrians and snow plow operators.
  Don’t leave your waste on your front lawn, steps, against your house, on top of or behind snowbanks, away from the curb, or where it cannot be accessed by the collectors without difficulty.

Please consider that the collectors are coming from the roadside and place waste where it can easily be accessed without the collectors having to climb through snow or leave the roadside and go onto your property. Your waste may be left behind if it cannot be safely and easily accessed.

Christmas Tree Collection:

The City of Brockville collects natural Christmas trees once a year for one week in January. The 2024 Christmas tree collection will take place during the week of January 8th to 11th.

Please place your natural Christmas trees out by 7:00 am on the same day as your recycling and garbage collection date during that week. Be sure to remove all decorations, tinsel, and tree bags or they will be left behind. No artificial trees, please. To prevent Christmas Trees from being left behind, please ensure that they are not on top of a snowbank or frozen into a snowbank. This helps us collect the Christmas trees in a time-efficient manner. Please refer to the Waste Collection Calendar and Information Guide for collection dates.
