Throughout the Village, there are garbage bins for casual toss in waste and recyclables. These garbage bins are NOT for individual household garbage. We ask that people do not place their individual household garbage in the Village garbage bins, as well we are asking that people do not place individual household garbage on or beside the Village garbage bins. Please contact the Municipality of the County of Richmond for individual household garbage pickup times.
