Public Holiday Garbage Collection Advisory
The Ministry of Public Works is advising of changes to the trash collection schedule due to the Public Holiday on Monday, September 19th.
A Government spokesperson said, “All garbage collection on the week of the 19th will follow a rollover schedule, with Tuesday’s garbage collected on Wednesday, Wednesday’s collected on Thursday, Thursday’s collected on Friday and Friday’s collected on Saturday.
“Recycling collection will not be impacted by the Public Holiday & National Day of Mourning. Per the 2022 Garbage and Recycling Schedule, west-end recycling will be collected on Thursday, 22 September, while East End recyclables will be collected on Friday, 23 September.
“The Tynes Bay Pubic Drop Off will be open during the holiday from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. and is free to drivers of private cars, L and LP vehicles; recyclables and other waste items are also accepted.
“The Ministry also takes this opportunity to advise that given the recent rainy spell, many trees and hedges have grown rapidly thereby creating an impediment to waste collection vehicles in the course of their duties which in turns increases the risk of injury to the collection crews operating waste trucks.
“As a result, those areas where necessary tree and hedge trimming is not undertaken may experience disruption of waste collection services since the larger vehicles are not able to safely traverse the respective zones.
“Homeowners who are unsure if their trees need trimming are encouraged to contact the Marsh Folly Waste Collection section on 292-1517.
