Garbage

The Summer Village uses an automated garbage pick-up system. Each lot with a cabin will be supplied with one 240 L garbage bin. Residents are responsible for replacing lot or stolen carts ($100 cost). On the garbage schedule, Sundance Beach falls within the North Shore category.  If you believe you need a second bin, please contact the office.  The charge will be $18 dollars a month, payable annually.

Summer (May - Oct) Weekly on Mondays
Winter (Oct – May) Bi-Weekly on Mondays

ALL garbage must be inside the can. Any extra bags outside of the can will NOT be picked up.

2024 Garbage Pick-up Schedule

Be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:

a.              Carts must be:
                  i.        Placed along the edge of the road way with wheels in the gutter
                  ii.         Not overloaded so as to prevent the lid from closing
                  iii.      Placed with a minimum of 4 feet clearance on all sides and above the cart from any obstacle including additional bags, parked vehicles, fences, other carts, etc and are placed so as to allow un-impeded access of the collection grabber directly from the side of the collection truck out to the cart
b.              Only waste contained within the respective automated 65 gallon cart will be collected.  Carts filled with inappropriate material will not be collected, such as hazardous waste, propane cylinders, gas, batteries, full aerosol cans and paint.


Repairs

If your garbage can gets damaged (e.g. a broken wheel), please contact the Summer Village Office at (780) 389-4409 or email: info@sundancebeach.ca.  We will get it scheduled for repair. We will need your name, phone number and house number. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks, as the contractor will coordinate a number of repairs at the same time.

Extra Garbage

Extra garbage that does not fit in your garbage can must be disposed of in an acceptable dump facility.

Road Bans

Road bans are weight restrictions that reduce the maximum weight allowed on our roads. Seasonal road bans are applied each spring to protect road infrastructure. These seasonal bans are lifted in late May or early June, depending on weather conditions. 

~April - early June, there is a 50% road ban in Sundance Beach, as well as surrounding area. The remainder of the year the road is at 75%.

For road permits, please contact Roadata Services Ltd.

 

Snow Removal

Snow removal is done by a contractor after major snowfalls as necessary. Please contact the office if the road needs to be plowed. 

Residents are responsible for clearing their own driveways and sidewalks.  Do not push snow onto municipal land such as roads or ditches. 

Snow ridges will occur at the driveway entrance when the Summer Village snow plough goes through.  Property owners will be required to clear their driveway (the approach) which may include utilizing personal snow removal equipment, seeking assistance from family, friends or neighbours; or contracting a private third-party company to perform the service.

Tree Removal

Residents are reminded it is their responsibility to maintain trees on their properties, or easements. A development permit is required before any tree removal is done.
