For those Condominium Properties located within St. John’s:

Condominiums must register with the Waste Diversion Supervisor at curbit@stjohns.ca or by calling 311 or 754 CITY (2489). We can assist you with educating staff/ residents of the building as well as offer suggestions on creative ways to handle recycling. We will provide a sample of blue bags and all the information you will need to get started.

The same rules and regulations will apply as single-family dwellings:

• Waste is placed to the curb between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. on the collection day
• Automated garbage areas must use the provided City issued cart for garbage collection and properly place cart on collection day
• In non-automated collection areas there are 4 bags or less of garbage
• There is no limit on the number of bags of recycling
• Yard waste must be in paper yard waste bags
• Each bag must be less than 50 pounds

Multi-Family (MF) properties include apartment and condominium buildings with more than 5 water units. We will collect from these properties if they can work within the framework of normal collections

• One cart assigned for each water unit to a maximum of five carts total
• Sorted blue bags at curb
• Yard waste in brown bags
• There is a recycling program available for MF properties if they meet certain criteria.
• Located along collection route
• Agree to follow framework of curbside recycling requirements (ie sorted blue bags placed at curb, uncollected blue bags will be brought back away from curb)
• Designated contact for program that City can reach

There are no garbage or yard waste programs for MF properties.
