WASTE MANAGEMENT
2012 CHRISTMAS TREE - Curbside Collection
The City of Belleville, pursuant to By-Law No. 98-175 [as amended] operates a User Pay Garbage System, whereby citizens purchase a $2.50 garbage tag to be affixed to each garbage item set to the curb side for
weekly collection.
The City is split into three sections for garbage collection, as follows:
- West of Moira River - garbage collected every Tuesday
- East of Moira River - garbage collected every Friday
- Thurlow Ward - garbage collected every Thursday
** ALL ITEMS MUST BE SET TO THE CURB BY 7:00 A.M. ON COLLECTION DAYS **
Special Notices will be posted to this site, if a Statutory Holiday modifies the regular garbage collection schedule.
Each bag, container or item of garbage counts as one lift:
- Residential (Belleville Ward) - 6 lifts per week
- Residential (Thurlow Ward) - 10 lifts per week
- Commercial - 16 lifts per week
- Downtown Core - 16 lifts per week
(8 on Tuesday; 8 on Friday)
(Downtown core means the lands fronting on Front Street extending from Dundas Street northerly to Station Street, and the lands fronting on Pinnacle Street extending from Station Street southerly to Dundas Street and shall include the lands fronting on Victoria Avenue, Campbell Street, Bridge Street, Market Street and McAnnany Street between Front Street & Pinnacle Street.)
Garbage tags are available at various distribution centers in Belleville and Thurlow - Bag Tag Retailers.
To ensure collection, please follow these guidelines:
- Disposable bags should be tightly sealed and not weigh more than 50 pounds.
- The bag tag should be looped around the neck of the bag and have it meet at the end producing a
little "flag". City of Belleville should be displayed on one side and the bag tag number on the other
side. Please do not twist the tag around the garbage bag as it appears that the tag has been split
in half and the waste collector may refuse collection.
- Cardboard boxes should be closed and sealed, not more than 24"x24"x42" in size and not weigh
more than 50 pounds. Ensure the bag tag is visible to the collector on the outside of the box.
- Garbage cans or containers should be reusable galvanized metal or plastic, not more than
17 gallons (77 litres) or 75 pounds in weight, with carrying handles and a secure, water tight lid.
The top item inside the container must display the $2.00 bag tag visible to the collector when he removes the lid.
- Belleville Ward ONLY - SMALL & LARGE FURNITURE COLLECTION - wooden furniture, mattresses,
box springs, TV's and rugs rolled and tied to a 5 foot length can be set to the curb with a $15.00
tag. Small furniture items such as TV's, stands, end tables, chairs, etc. must have a $10.00
tag tag affixed to each item. The tags for small & large furniture are available at City Hall.
Collections will take place on Friday for the entire Belleville Ward. Please call Public Works
613-967-3275 prior to 4:00 pm on Thursdays to have your location added to the list for
