Garbage Collection Calendar

This is a friendly reminder that the Collection day for garbage in our neighbourhood has change to Fridays, effective as of November 02, 2012.

Special – One additional day pick-up 

Because we live in an area where the new schedule change results in an extended period without collection, one additional day will take place tomorrow Saturday, November 03, 2012 for only Black box pick-up.

Please place only your Black box at the curb no later than 7am on Saturday, November 3, 2012 and no earlier than 6pm the night before.

Garbage Collection Calendar

The Garbage Collection Calendar can be found on the City of Ottawa’s website. The application allows you to create your collection calendar based on your street address. It also allows you to print, send reminders to your email, twitter etc.

We also provide the link on the home page, under the GO PUBLIC menu tab:

Garage Sale Repeat

Laurie Fagan has been talking to neighbours and they’ve decided to try and hold the community wide garage sale the next Saturday (since this weekend was such a washout).

So, we’re going to try it again!

Event date: Saturday June 9, 2012.
Rain date: Sunday, June 10.

We anticipate that residents on Island Park will take part as well, though we haven’t heard from them yet.

Think about donating a portion of your proceeds to the charity of your choice, or  to help support Champlain Park Community Association.

Reminder: Garage Sale this Saturday

Yes, it’s that time of year again!

Time to buy back all that stuff you sold to your neighbour last year, but at twice the price.

We are planning to hold the community-wide garage sale again this year.
As usual, it will be held on the first Saturday in June.

Event date:  Saturday June 2, 2012.
Rain date:  Should it be pouring rain, the sale is moved to Sunday, June 3.

We anticipate that residents on Island Park will take part as well.

Think about donating a portion of your proceeds to the charity of your choice, or  to help support Champlain Park Community Association.

Leftover treasures
If you have leftover treasures when the garage sale ends keep in mind that the Ottawa’s Spring Give Away Weekend  will take place the same weekend as the garage sale  (both days).
