About automated collection
Automated collection uses mechanical arms to lift and dump bins at the roadside, and better protects the health and safety of employees.

The new collection trucks require new garbage and organics carts that are compatible with the mechanical arms. These were delivered to curbside customers in April/May.

Along with the improvement to worker health and safety, there are a number of benefits for residents under this new service including:

New, uniform carts.
Higher weight restrictions on waste.
Opportunity for new services such as roadside yard waste collection, and larger capacity garbage carts to accommodate bigger families (for additional cost).
