The City of Temiskaming Shores has introduced an automated garbage and "single stream" recycling system. This means that you can put all of your recyclable materials into one bin, making it easier to recycle and less garbage will end up in the landfill. This new system will also help save taxpayer dollars and the environment.

Safety Tip | Please use extra care when using the rollout garbage and Recyling bins in slippery conditions caused by snow and/or ice. |
Tips - Winter Placement |
Avoid placing the bins out the night before, and remove bins from the road as soon as possible to avoid obstacles for snowplows, which often operate throughout the night and early morning to clear roads. Resident Responsibility
Roads without Sidewalks / Sidewalks not Maintained throughout the Winter.Place garbage and recycling bins no more than 3 feet back from the road edge after a snowfall, to facilitate snow removal operations and to avoid damage to rollout bins. Roads with Winter Maintained Sidewalks.Place bins directly behind the curb the morning of your collection day. This placement reduces safety risks associated with extending the automated sidearm across the sidewalk, and to ensure the safety of pedestrians using the sidewalk. Place bins for collection at an unobstructed site.
