Please Don't Use Oversize Garbage Bins
Oversized garbage cans increase the risk of shoulder and back injuries to
garbage collectors. These cans easily hold more than the allowed 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of garbage and are difficult to handle, making it unsafe for collectors to lift. Only bylaw-approved garbage cans will be collected by garbage collectors. Each garbage collector picks up from as many as 1,000 households per day!
- Garbage cans must hold less than 125 litres (30 gallons).
- Maximum can size: Height 95 centimetres (38 inches), and width 60 centimetres (24 inches). Cans must have two handles, and any lids must be removable
- The weight of the garbage can and its contents must not exceed 20 kilograms (44 pounds).
Residents who set out their waste in oversized garbage cans will not have their garbage collected. The use of garbage cans is not allowed in the City of Oshawa and Town of Whitby collection programs.

Time for a new CAO
"As much as I have enjoyed my time at Brock Township, it was never intended to be more than a short term "hold the fort" kind of role until such a time as we could get a few things organized and commence a campaign for a new, permanent CAO. At their meeting on Monday night, Council approved a recruitment plan which I will facilitate starting right away with the result hopefully being that a new leader will be in place later this year or early next year at the latest. If you know of anyone who may be interested in the position and qualified to fill it, the posting will be on our website in the next week or two and will be in a variety of other locations including the local newspapers over the next few weeks."
