The Municipality of Greenstone provides garbage collection service to residents in its communities and rural areas. Our annual Spring Clean Up helps make our neighbourhoods attractive and provides a scheduled collection service for large and heavy items. Find out how and when you can properly dispose of household hazardous waste materials and exchange paint at our depot in Longlac.

Weekly residential garbage collection
Please place your contained garbage on the roadside by 7:00 a.m. on the day of your pickup, as per the Garbage By-law.
View our garbage collection schedules and routes listed below to find your collection day. The garbage collection calendar will provide you with an alternative pickup date for your area in the case of a holiday on your regular garbage day.
We aim to provide great service, but delays sometimes happen due to unplanned events such as highway closures, severe weather, or equipment failure. If a schedule disruption occurs, we will provide notice in our news feed. You can also subscribe to our alerts.
