Garbage The City of Clarence-Rockland, Physical Services Department has four parts to its waste disposal program. These include: Garbage, Recycling, Compost and Landfill. In December 2001 a new recycling program was initiated, using an alternating Blue and Black box system. To get the complete information on this public works program, click on the above link. If you need further information call: 446-6022, ext. 247. WSI Waste Services look after the Clarence-Rockland refuse and recycling needs. Here their link: 1: WSI Waste Services 2: Clarence-Rockland Environment (including garbage and recycling collections) REMEMBER: You are only allowed to put out up to three garbage bags, without tags and you must put containers out only after 7 p.m. PLEASE... Cover recycles on windy days. SUGGESTION: Try to put your refuse out in the early morning. If you leave it out over night you may find that dogs, crows, skunks, or other varmits may eat through the plastic bags. This garbage was left over after crows pecked their way through the plastic. Back to top Crow's Nest or Dog's Breakfast! For those doubting Thomases who don't think crows can mess up our garbage... here is proof. This cawing character was caught on Blue Jay Drive the day before garbage pick-up. The owner had forgotten that our refuse day was one day late because of the long weekend and had put out the trash too early, giving our black-feathered friends plenty of opportunity to mess it up. Delicious!

Composting The Rockland Compost Centre is located on Highway 17, about one kilometer east of Mr.Gas, on the north side of Rockland. The refuse guys will NOT pick up your compost (branches, grass, etc), but you can drop them off at this compost site. Back to top Burning Regulations Did you know that you need a burning permit in the City of Clarence-Rockland if you are burning leaves and garden waste. In fact you even need a permit if you want to have a backyard summer bonfire. The permit is available from City Hall and is only $10. You may want to look into it before you light up the next time. Burning compostable material (leaves, grass, twigs, etc.) is discouraged. We recommend bringing this stuff to the local Compost Centre, located on Highway 174, about one kilometer east of Mr.Gas, on the north side of Rockland. Cumberland Village and Ottawa area wast collection calendar Ottawa residents can confirm their waste collection day by calling the City of Ottawa at 3-1-1 or by visiting their Web site. More...

( For more Environment News click here. ) The Annual Canaan Road Clean-up Day Speaking of garbage, many thoughtless and ignorant users of Canaan Road throw their garbage from out of their vehicles. Over the months this material collects in the ditches. Each year, the good residents of the area (Canaan Road, Forest Hill, Blue Jay Ridge and even from farther afield), gather in the spring to have a Canaan Road Clean-up Day. In 2009 the First Annual Monique Lussier Memorial Clean-Up Day was dedicated to the memory of Blue Jay resident, Monique Lussier, who passed away from cancer in January. More...
