Waste and Recycling Collection: Upcoming Changes Set for Summer 2025
As part of ongoing efforts to enhance waste management, Public Works is preparing for changes to waste and recycling collection services, set to begin in the summer of 2025. Here’s what residents need to know:
Collection Schedule
- Waste Collection: Mondays and Thursdays
- Recycling Collection: Tuesdays and Fridays
- Commercial Bin Collection: Wednesdays
Important Guidelines for Residents
- Use of Blue Bags for Recycling: It’s crucial for tenants to use blue bags specifically for recycling. Items placed out for recycling without these bags will not be collected. This measure is intended to streamline the recycling process and ensure proper sorting.
- Larger Item Pick-Up: For residents needing to dispose of larger household items such as electronics, washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, and hot water tanks, a pick-up service is available. Residents should reach out to the designated contact (819-753-2598) to schedule their pick-up.
- Curbside Placement of Bins: All residents are reminded to place their bins at the curb before the scheduled collection times. This ensures efficient collection and prevents any delays.
Conclusion
These upcoming changes to the waste and recycling collection process are an important step toward fostering a cleaner environment in our community. By following the outlined guidelines, including the use of blue recycling bags and adhering to the new collection schedule, community members can play an essential role in contributing to the success of these initiatives.
