Hey Marc...dropped in to say 'hi' LOL!!  We have been fortunate in our neck of the woods, for some reason our garbage day is never affected by holidays, except for Christmas Day, New Years and Canada Day if that holiday falls on our exact collection day. We must have a private company doing ours we suspect. Hope you are enjoying your weekend ;)

Hi Al and Peggy - In Markham, the garbage collection days to collect waste are moved later by one day for the rest of the week if a statutory day occurs on a statutory day or earlier in the week.

Markham uses a private contractor (Miller) which it has used for about 20 years and has just renewed for another term.  I assume that the contract states when garbage collection occurs when a statutory holiday occurs during the week.

Marc,

This is now showing up on the second page of Google.

Hopefully, in a day or two it will move up.

Brian - I am curious regarding which search phrase you use in Google.  My searches show this post on page 1 item 3.  I am using phrases such as "garbage markham canada day".

Marc,

Although garbage seem to be the main topic of this post, I wanted to come by to wish you a Happy Canada Day.  No need to waste the day but make most of it and celebrate!  :)
