Timmins’ citywide Spring Cleanup Program is back. This year’s confirmed dates are Tuesday, May 24 to Friday, June 3.
The full collection schedule for 2022 has been posted our website under "Spring Cleanup". Residents are to have their materials at the curb no more than two days prior to their scheduled collection day.
The volume of material to be collected per residence is limited to no more than half a standard half ton pick-up truck or approximately 60 cubic feet (4 feet wide, by 8 feet long and 2 feet high).
The following items will not be collected:
- Any material in a black garbage bag: material must be in clear bags only
- Concrete and asphalt: dispose at Deloro Landfill
- Batteries of any type: dispose during Hazardous Waste Day, June 11, 2022 in the Archie Dillon Sportsplex parking lot, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- Tires: Many retailers and garages will take back your old tires free of charge and recycle into innovative recycled rubber products. For details and drop off locations, visit www.rpra.ca/programs/tires/collectionsites
- Electronics: dispose at Deloro Landfill and/or Hazardous Waste Day
- Propane tanks: dispose during Hazardous Waste Day
- White goods or items that contain Freon: dispose through private recycling firms
- Recyclables: dispose at Deloro Landfill, Tisdale Transfer Site and German Township Landfill or through regular curbside pickup
- Paints/liquids/fuels/chemicals: dispose during Hazardous Waste Day
- Textiles: dispose during Hazardous Waste Day
- Mattresses or box springs that are securely wrapped in plastic: dispose at Deloro Landfill
Leaves and yard waste are acceptable in compostable bags. Clean wood is acceptable in a separate pile from the rest of the Spring Clean Up material.
Material not in compliance with the guidelines will not be collected. Residents will be required to remove any material not collected from the street within 48 hours. Any containers (such as cans and recycling boxes) left with the waste will be collected; therefore, do not put out containers with the Spring Cleanup pile unless you want to get rid of the container.
