Once you have completed your Property Change of Ownership Form, utilities will automatically be transferred to you on the date of possession and an automated request will be sent for the delivery of garbage, organics and recycling carts to your new home.
Garbage, Organics and Recycling Carts
Standard carts provided to residential households include a black garbage cart, blue recycling cart and a green organics cart.
- New build – Your garbage, organics and recycling carts will be dropped off within one week of submitting your Property Change of Ownership Form.
- Existing home – Garbage, organics and recycling carts should have been left behind by the previous owner.
- Cart repair or replacement – If any carts are damaged or missing, please complete the Request Cart Repair or Replacement Form. Please allow 5 business days.
