In Perth South we have contracted Bluewater Recycling Association for the co-collection of recyclables and garbage throughout the township. Collection is on a bi-weekly basis for both recyclables and garbage. Acceptable recycling material is collected at no charge. Residents are reminded that there is a weight restriction, any container over 20kg (45 lbs) or over 30 gallons will not be collected because it unsafe for collection drivers. You can test your acceptable recycling materials knowledge by playing the Recycling Game.
As of October 31, 2016, we have an automated collection service. Bluewater Recycling Association now uses the "wheelie bin" for both recycling and garbage. Here is the recycling and waste container option chart.
Here is the 2017 Waste and Recycling Schedule with a map identifying Blanshard and Downie pickup areas.
