Neighbours, please remember that there are a few important guidelines for garbage, waste and compost pickup in Crescent Valley. By following the guidelines, we can make garbage removal more efficient and help keep the neighbourhood looking tidy. Thank you! Please put garbage out by 8:30am on Thursday mornings for pick up on Thursdays. All garbage must be in garbage bags that are tied, and placed at the curbside where the collection team can get to it easily. **Please... do not put the garbage behind or on top of snowbanks. Put it in a location where it is not blocked by vehicles and make sure it is within two meters of the curb. There is also a Large Item Pickup every Friday for anything large or loose which can’t go in a bag, such as furniture. Compost bins are for compost, not garbage. Compost pick up is Fridays, and the cart should be placed where the collection team can easily get to it. See more
