Waste Collection Bylaw
Our Waste Collection Bylaw prohibits residents from damaging or misusing waste bins, littering, or using someone else's bin for their waste.
We are actively enforcing this bylaw and will charge property owners who break these rules. Property owners and landlords must also keep their properties clean from waste and help tenants do the same. If there is a mess left behind, a $125 fee plus cleanup costs will be added to the property’s tax bill.
Good Neighbour Guide
The Good Neighbour Guide has been created to provide community members with a better understanding of how the City of Kingston operates, the services and opportunities available, and how residents can contribute to improving their neighbourhoods. At the heart of a strong, vibrant community is a simple idea: we are all neighbours. Whether you have just moved in or have called Kingston home for years, community members share a responsibility to help shape a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive community.

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.
Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
