Waste & Recycling

Residential Garbage and Recycling Collection

Canora residents are provided alternating household waste and recycling collection every Friday, depending on the zone in which they are located. Collection begins at 6 a.m., or earlier, so please have your bin out the night before. Residential waste must be placed in the black bin and recycling must be placed in the blue bin. Furniture, appliances and construction debris will not be collected and must be taken to the landfill. Overfilled carts will not be emptied.

For inquiries, please contact Town Office at (306) 563-5773
