## Waste Collection
Curbside collection is carried out by a private contractor under a multi-year agreement with the Township.
Garbage is limited to 154 L per household per week, and an unlimited amount of recycling may be set at the curb. Items not contained in a bag or container will not be collected.
Garbage will be collected at residential properties if it's:
1. One 120L square bin with wheels; or
2. One 240L square bin with wheels filled to a **maximum of 3/4 capacity**; or
3. 2 garbage bags.
Garbage left in cardboard boxes will not be collected. Please do not tie lids to the garbage can and remove any bungee cords to avoid pitcher injury.
### Excess Garbage
Excess garbage beyond what fits in your bin with the lid closed, must be bagged, tagged and set out beside your Garbage Bin for collection.
###
Additional Garbage Tags are available for purchase at the Town Hall for $15 for 5 tags ($3 per tag).
###
No. Garbage Tags are for regular excess household waste only. Bulky items such as furniture, appliances, and carpets are collected separately during the Large Waste Items Collection.
###
Place excess garbage in a regular garbage bag, attach a Garbage Tag, and set it beside your bin for collection.
