There will be no collection on Tuesday, Dec. 25 and Tuesday, Jan. 1. If your normal collection falls on either of these dates, your waste will be collected one day earlier — on Monday, Dec. 24 and Monday, Dec. 31 respectively.

All other collection days remain the same and collectors will be working as usual, including on Boxing Day.

After the holidays, non-foil wrapping paper and cardboard can be recycled in a blue bag, but Styrofoam packaging should go in the garbage.

Heavy and bulky items, including old unwanted electronics that cannot be collected through residential collection should be taken to Ambleside, Coronation or Kennedale Eco Stations. Strathcona Eco Station closed for renovations in October and will reopen next spring.

The Reuse Centre also accepts larger items if they’re still in good condition, as well as holiday greeting cards, wrapping paper, bows, ribbons and gift boxes.
