Guidelines

The Flagstaff Regional Association provides waste collection services for all urban residents as required. We take pride in our equipment and employees by ensuring a safe and healthy working environment.

  1. All waste must be bagged prior to being placed in a waste receptacle.
  2. There is a limit of four bags per residence. Extra bags require a bag tag which can be purchased from any town or village office. If there are extra bags set out for collection without tags they will not be collected.
  3. Garbage must be accessible and within 6 meters of the roadway or lane with clear access to containers. In the winter months this includes snow removal. Collectors are not allowed to enter fenced premises, residential owners property, garages or other out buildings.
  4. It is the responsibility of the resident to ensure the waste receptacles are kept clean, free of odor and insects. A disinfectant may be required.
  5. Street collection may be instituted in the winter months due to weather conditions. Municipalities are responsible to notify the public of any changes.

Acceptable & Unacceptable Items

Not sure what goes in curbside collection?

Here’s a quick guide to what can go out with your regular household collection, and what cannot be picked up at the curb.

  • Kitchen waste (bagged)
  • Small household items that fit in bags
  • Pet waste (double bagged)
  • Diapers (bagged)
  • Non-recyclable packaging
  • Broken household items (safely bagged)
  • Special Rule for Yard Waste

Shrubs and tree limbs are accepted if:

  • Bundled securely
  • Less than 1.5 meters in length
  • Each bundle counts as one bag toward your limit
