Industrial Park East Waste Collection

Welcome to the waste collection information for businesses located in Industrial Park East. As a commercial customer, your waste services are managed differently than those for residential properties. Please read the following guidelines carefully to ensure your business remains compliant with City by-laws and avoids unnecessary fees.

Collection Schedule

Your garbage, recycling, and organics are collected on a weekly basis. The specific day of the week depends on your designated zone within the park. Most businesses in Industrial Park East are assigned to the Tuesday or Wednesday collection routes. To confirm your exact collection day, please check the Garbage and recycling collection schedule or contact Wrenford 311 at 519-555-0111.

Be aware that collection times may shift during statutory holidays. The City publishes updates regarding Holiday schedule changes for waste collection well in advance. Please monitor the City website or local news outlets for any adjustments to your regular pickup day.

Container Requirements

Businesses in Industrial Park East are required to provide their own waste containers. The City does not supply standard carts for commercial accounts. You must use approved commercial dumpsters or roll-off containers that meet City safety standards. Containers must be placed at the curb or designated loading zone by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. They must be removed from the public right-of-way by 5:00 p.m. the same day.

Ensure that all waste is contained securely within the bin. Loose waste or overflowing containers will not be collected and may result in a fine under the City’s waste management by-law. If you require a new or replacement commercial container, you must contact your private waste hauler directly. The City does not supply commercial dumpsters.

Special Waste Streams

Standard commercial waste collection does not include electronic waste, hazardous materials, or construction debris. If your business generates Electronic waste and electronics recycling, such as old computers or printers, you must arrange for separate disposal through a certified recycler. Similarly, Household hazardous waste generated by office operations, such as batteries or cleaning solvents, must be taken to the Recycling facility and landfill information centre or a designated drop-off event.

For questions about your commercial account or to report a missed collection, please call Wrenford 311 at 519-555-0111 or email [email protected]. Remember, keeping Industrial Park East clean is a shared responsibility.
