Brandon green cart program ends November 12th

The City of Brandon Solid Waste Section wishes to inform participants of the Green Cart Program that weekly pick-up for the year will conclude on Saturday, November 12, 2022. 
 
Regular refuse, recycle, and green cart collection that would have been collected on Friday, November 11th, will be collected on Saturday, November 12th, as the City of Brandon will be observing Remembrance Day.  
 
Until then, participants are encouraged to have their compost carts placed out for collection no later than 6:00 a.m. on their scheduled day to ensure timely pick-up. As this time of year is often prone to a cycle of freeze-thaw temperatures, program participants are encouraged to place newspaper/cardboard at the bottom of their Green Cart to ensure materials release easily when being collected. Bagging yard waste in a compostable kraft paper bag is also a great option to ensure organic material does not stick!  
 
Weather-permitting, the City of Brandon Green Cart collection program will start up again in late-spring of 2023. However, Green Cart program participants are encouraged to continue placing all kitchen waste and other accepted organics into their Green Cart during the winter months.
