The Municipality of the District of Shelburne offers a number of services to ensure residents have facilities to dispose of all their waste properly.
All regular waste (including bulky waste – rugs, mattresses and upholstered furniture), recycling and compost is collected on a bi-weekly schedule.
All metals and appliances are collected during a scheduled special collection once in the spring and once in the fall.
