If your collection day falls on a holiday, collection will take place as scheduled, except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day, when collection may be rescheduled.

Place all garbage in your wheelie bin with the black lid for pick-up. Place your garbage bin at the curb on your assigned side of the street by 7:00 am on your collection day.

Please do not place your bin behind an obstacle where you cannot see it from the road. For example:

• Behind a snowdrift
• Hidden in tall grass
• Behind a hedge

You can report a missed pick-up online, or call BRA at 1-800-265-9799 ext. 228, if you have not had your collection picked up on your scheduled day.

 Sign up for BRA's Collection Reminder App and never forget to put your garbage and recycling out again!

 Please contact BRA at 1-800-265-9799 or request a replacement bin online to replace your damaged or missing bin.

• $75 per year for 35-gallon containers

The garbage collection charge is billed on the property tax account.

Before throwing something in the garbage, check if you can recycle, compost, or dispose of it in another way. The Bluewater Recycling Association Material Guide will help you find the most environmentally friendly way to get rid of an item.
