You can opt out temporarily while renovating, demolishing a house or travelling (6 months or more). During your absence the City will remove your bins. Once you are ready to resume service, you will need to opt back in.
Opt Out of City Waste Collection Services
If you do not opt out, you will continue to be charged regardless of whether or not waste was set out for collection
