Summer Garbage Pick Up WARD 4

For the last several years, Woodstock (Ward 4), has been offering a "recycling week” garbage pickup during the summer months, while Wards 1, 2, 3, & 5 have remained with the standard three pickups per month. To do the extra pickup this summer for all five wards was cost prohibitive, and given that all wards are taxed equally for waste collection services, we are unable to offer it to one ward only.

As a result, we will not be operating an extra garbage pick up during the months of June, July or August for this summer.  Recycling will be the only items collected during recycling week.

To help reduce the amount of garbage:

1.     Recycle items in Blue Bin that is picked up the first full week of the month, list of items at link: Recycling Guide WVRSC

2.  Compost items where applicable, Tips on composting at link: Compost Info WVRSC

3.  Shop Consciously: Plan ahead, buy only what you need and consider the impact of packaging when making purchases.

4.     Try one of these sustainable swaps to help reduce your everyday waste.
