Millbridge House follows municipal and provincial waste guidelines for multi-unit residential buildings. Proper waste handling helps prevent chute blockages, pest issues, fire risk, and unnecessary service disruptions.
Residents are expected to follow the procedures below.
• All garbage must be securely bagged and tied before placing in the chute.
• Do not force oversized bags into the chute.
• Do not dispose of loose garbage, boxes, or bulky items through the chute.
• If the chute door is locked or marked closed, it means the bin below is full.
When the chute is closed:
Please follow posted signage and wait until service has been completed before attempting disposal.
Forcing items into a closed chute may cause blockages and building-wide disruption.
A large exterior garbage bin is available on site.
If the large bin is not outside, it has been temporarily repositioned beneath the chute.
Do not leave garbage beside the bin if it is full. Overflow items and furniture will not be collected by the waste contractor and may result in removal fees.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances, renovation debris, and large household items are not accepted in building garbage bins.
Residents are responsible for transporting bulk items directly to the landfill or arranging private disposal.
Do not leave furniture or large items in hallways, near bins, or in the parking area.
There is one designated recycling bin located outside the building.
To ensure proper collection:
• Flatten and compact all cardboard boxes.
• Break down large packaging.
• Do not place garbage inside recycling containers.
• Rinse food containers before recycling where possible.
Overfilled or contaminated recycling bins may not be collected.
The following items must never be disposed of in the chute or bins:
• Hot ashes
• Hazardous materials
• Chemicals
• Construction debris
• Propane tanks
• Gasoline
• Paint
These items must be taken to approved disposal facilities.
Improper disposal can result in:
• Chute blockages
• Service delays
• Additional service charges
If a contractor is required to remove improperly disposed items, associated costs may be charged to the responsible unit where applicable.
