Hamilton faced waste pickup delay Tuesday due to snow hills

The City of Hamilton says waste collection was delayed Tuesday as crews continue to try to clear roads and sidewalks of snow.

The city posted on X at around 6:25 p.m. Tuesday that waste collecting vehicles have been unable to pick up all the waste put out due to the impacts of the Significant Weather Event.

Waste collection vehicles and staff were unable to collect all waste today. If your waste was not accessible to collection operators, on or behind a snowbank, please bring your waste in and place back out next week on your collection day.

Residents who had waste that was not accessible to collection operators, on or behind a snowbank, are being asked to bring their waste in and place it back out next week on their collection day.

The City of Hamilton Waste Management crews will continue to pick-up waste this week as part of its regular operations.

They are also asking residents of buildings to contact the city if their large dumpster or recycling carts have not been collected yet.

If your large dumpster or recycling carts have not been collected at a multi-residential building due to the collection area not being accessible from the snow, please ensure safe, clear access and contact 905-546-CITY (2489) to arrange a return pick up.
