A collection schedule, a set-out time and the amount the collector will take answer three separate questions about the same pickup. Weekly, on Tuesdays.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Use the service information in [Waste & Recycling - New Denver](https://newdenver.ca/municipal-services/waste-recycling/). Locate the address on the service schedule or confirm the arrangement for the household. Check that you are reading the garbage instructions for the correct day or route.\n2. Check the permitted container and sort out anything that must go to a different service. Use the set-out instructions for the property, especially where wildlife or shared bins are a concern.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The household supplies enough sanitary containers for waste between collections. Keep lids closed and secure. Waste in a metal or plastic container must first be bagged.\n- On Tuesday collection days, put containers at the curb no earlier than 6 a.m. and by 8 a.m.\n- Up to two bags per household per pickup, at most 50 lb each.
