Sand

How to dispose

There are two ways to dispose of sand depending on whether you have small or large quantities.

Small quantities of sand

  • Put into your green cart

Put small quantities of bagged sand into your green cart for composting.

  • Sand must be bagged in a paper yard waste bag or certified compostable bag for dust control.
  • Fill your green cart first by putting the bagged sand inside of the green cart. Carts have a 60 kg weight limit. If you can easily roll your cart, it should be ok.
  • If your green cart is full, set the rolled-up paper yard waste bags 0.5m (2 ft) to the side of your green cart on collection day. Do not lean bags on top or beside the cart.
  • Paper yard waste bags have a 20 kg weight limit. If you can pickup the bag with one hand, it should be ok.

Large quantities of sand

  • Take to a City landfill

Take large quantities of sand to a City landfill for disposal – charges will apply.
