Residential Garbage Collection:

What day is my collection day? It depends where you live: 

  • Tuesday: Sioux Lookout urban area - South of Prince Street and West of Fifth Avenue
  • Wednesday (morning): Sturgeon River Road and Drayton Road areas
  • Wednesday (afternoon): Sioux Lookout urban area - North of Prince Street and East of Fifth Avenue
  • Thursday: Abram Road areas, Fanning Avenue, Sun & Sand Road, Birch, Pine, Beech, Moosehorn, and Highway 72 to 5-Mile corner, including Highway 664 and Hudson
  • Friday: Alcona

Seasonal Information:

  • Mile 5 to Butterfly Lake: May to October - Wednesday afternoon
  • Mile 5 to Butterfly Lake: November to April - First Wednesday of the month
  • Hudson Beach: May to October - Wednesday afternoon
  • Hudson Beach: November to April - No Pick-up

Because Monday was a holiday does this change my pick-up day?

NO- It will only change if the Statutory Holiday falls on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The schedule is then moved up by one day. (i.e: Canada Day falls on a Wednesday, no collection- therefore collection will be on Thursday; Thursday collection then moves to Friday-the following week is then back to the regular collection schedule.)

Is the garbage truck on schedule?

The Garbage truck has no set schedule. The By-Law requires that your household garbage must be out by 8:00 am the day of pick-up. Ensure that your garbage is secured from dogs and birds by having it in garbage containers or covered with a tarp or blanket. (Note: If the garbage itself is not a container.)
We do not pick-up from garbage boxes on privately owned property. Garbage boxes are only used for back lane pick-up.

Why did the garbage truck pick up everyone's garbage on my street, except for mine?

Possible reasons:

  • Did you have it out prior to 8:00 am on pick-up day?
  • Did you have all the bags tagged? We will only pick-up tagged bags.
  • Telephone the Public Works Department at 737-1234 and we will call you back once we determine why your garbage was not picked up.
  • Placing your garbage out the night before collection day is also fine.

I missed my pick-up day, will the the truck come back and pick-up my garbage?

NO - It will be picked up the following week or you may haul it to the landfill site.

Because it is storming or bad weather, is there pick-up today?

Yes, we may be behind because of the weather, but we will complete today's pick-up route.

The garbage truck has not been by yet, are they coming today?

Yes. There may be problems with the truck or road conditions could be causing problems.
