If you live in Guelph, you already know your collection schedule runs a little differently than other cities. The three-stream collection system means that while your green organics can goes out every week, the grey garbage can and your blue recycling can rotate on alternating biweekly schedules.
That means on any given collection day, your green is always out, and either your grey or your blue joins it, but never both at the same time.
It works well once it becomes routine. But it means that when people ask us about garbage can cleaning in Guelph, one of the first questions we get is: how does garbage can cleaning work with our rotation?
We Come By On Your Garbage + Organic Pickup Day
For most customers, the two cans that need cleaned most urgently are the grey garbage can and the green organics can.
Those two are always out on the same collection day, which makes things simple. We come through after the garbage truck has come by, and clean both cans at the curb. Nobody needs to be home. You don’t need to do anything differently than you already do.
What If You Want Your Blue Recycling Can Cleaned Too?
If you’d like to add on your blue recycling can, we’ll clean it on the same rotation as your grey + green cans as long as it is pre-emptied. You can set it out by the curb along with the other two and we’ll take care of it.
Adding the blue recycling can to your regular cleaning schedule is an extra $5.
