- Christmas tree collection takes place from January 6 to 10. Residents are asked to place their real trees at the curb on their regular collection day for pick up. Trees must be out prior to 7 a.m. in a shovelled-out area. Please note this collection is not for artificial trees.
- The week of December 30 to January 4, extra bags of garbage will be accepted at the curb. This means residents can set out bags beyond the six-bag limit for this week only. Only extra garbage bags will be accepted (there will be no bulk item pickup). The City of Cornwall hopes additional bags will allow residents to manage post-Christmas waste more effectively.
